[CLUE-Tech] Cracked! Mailog entries; xinetd in RHV7.0

[Tim Russell]

Jim -

   I was a bit taken aback too, but I actually like xinetd quite a bit!  You
definitely need to be a little more careful with it though, it's quite a bit
more powerful than inetd, which can be both good and bad.

   To disable a service, just go into /etc/xinetd.d, edit the service's
file, and add a "disable   = yes" line that's the same format as the other
lines.  Then either do a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart" or a "kill -USR2
<pid" on the xinetd process id.

   Among other things, I discovered, happily, that it'll do user-level port
forwarding to an internal system on a firewall last week.
