However, I don't like it much. o doesn't handle hostnames o doesn't handle multi-homed host names o entirely new record has to be created for every service on every interface! o everything has to be in the one file. administration nightmare. say you are running 200 virtual servers with 4 services each = around 6400 xinetd lines. and grep won't work on it. o uses bloated multi-line-per-service xinetd config style ;) -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
