[techtalk] xinetd and tcp_wrappers

[Martin.Caitlyn at epamail.epa.gov]

Hi, everyone,

Does anyone have any experience using tcp_wrappers in conjunction with
xinetd, as opposed to inetd.  The tcp_wrappers man page that came with Red
Hat 7.1 still refers to the inetd.conf file, but, of course, that no longer
exists.  Is there any reason I can't invoke tcpd and refer to the service
to be run in the various configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d the same way
I did in the old /etc/inetd.conf file?  Are there any issues I should be
aware of?

TIA,
Caity
