+README.Debian for xinetd
+========================
- README.Debian for xinetd
- ========================
+ xinetd in debian is supposed to work with -inetd_compat enabled (you can
+ tweak that in /etc/default/xinetd).
- - xinetd features an inetd.conf compatibility mode. When started with the
- -inetd_compat option, xinetd first reads its own configuration file
- (/etc/xinetd.conf), then /etc/inetd.conf.
+ Package maintainers that support xinetd in addition to xinetd, will drop
+ files in /etc/xinetd.d/<service> _and_ add entries in /etc/inetd.conf,
+ enabling them using update-inetd.
- This mode is enabled by default.
+ If both an xinetd service configuration id and an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
+ match, the xinetd one will hide the inetd.conf one, even if disabled. This
+ trick is built to simplify the logic in update-inetd, and let the
+ administrators only touch xinetd configuration and don't have
+ /etc/inetd.conf mess with that they changed behind their back.
