I'm not sure how many are using xinetd, the new and improved inetd, that
is the super-server of RedHat 7.0. The xinetd.conf has entries of the
form
service <service_name>
{
<attribute> <assign_op> <value> <value> ...
...
}
RedHat7.0 has an include directory, xinetd.d, with entries of this form.
The inetd.conf translation to xinetd.d files worked for me like this
(Note that amanda is the user of group disk in my setup)
#inetd.conf entry#
amandaidx stream tcp nowait USER AMINDEXD_PATH amindexd
#xinetd.d file = amandaidx#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
disable = no
}
#inetd.conf entry#
amidxtape stream tcp nowait USER AMIDXTAPED_PATH amidxtaped
#xinetd.d file = amidxtape#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the amanda server package
#
service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amanda
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
disable = no
}
#identd.conf#
amanda dgram udp wait USER AMANDAD_PATH amandad
#xinetd.d file = amandad#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
disable = no
}
The permissions of these three files in xinetd.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 224 Nov 26 14:50 amandad
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 230 Nov 26 14:50 amandaidx
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 232 Nov 26 14:50 amidxtape
With the user/group as root.root I got the error
/usr/lib/amanda/runtar: Permission denied]
