Red Hat 7.2 and inetd.conf

I'm new to linux. Can someone please tell me where the /etc/inetd.conf file went? Thank you.

Re: Red Hat 7.2 and inetd.conf

Hello Scott,

RedHat 7.2 now uses xinetd instead of inetd. xinetd does not use /etc/inetd.conf, but rather a directory called /etc/xinetd.d with individual files in there for each service.

These are text files and can be edited with VI or any other editor. If you make a change to a file or add a new file, don't forget to restart xinetd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart.

Regards,
Paga
