Re: ssh

[Bob McClure Jr <robertmcclure earthlink net>]

SSH is not normally run from xinetd.  Normally you would just run
sshd, the SSH daemon.  Use chkconfig to see if it is supposed to be
running (as root):

 chkconfig --list sshd

Mine says:

 sshd            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

which is normal.  (Well, "2:on" is wrong, but innocuous because
networking is not on at runlevel 2.)  If yours doesn't say that, then

 chkconfig --level 345 on
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start

I have some comments about your xinetd.conf, below:

Aren't you missing a closing curly brace, "}", here?

These following two sections are normally in their own files in
/etc/xinetd.d/.

Hope that helps.
