Re: What happened to inetd.conf?

[Matt Wilson <msw redhat com>]

Migration is covered in RELEASE-NOTES:

    o inetd replaced by xinetd -- The xinetd package has greater
      functionality than the inetd super-server it replaces.  See the
      configuration file /etc/xinetd.conf (and the files in /etc/xinetd.d)
      for more information on xinetd's default configuration for Red Hat
      Linux 7.0.  (NOTE: On upgrades, /etc/inetd.conf will be converted to
      an xinetd-style file using the inetdconvert script present in the
      xinetd RPM.  Your original inetd.conf will be saved as
      /etc/inetd.conf.rpmsave.)

Cheers,

Matt
