Hi all,
A while ago I asked some questions about xinetd and got some usefull pointers.
But, still having a few probs which I need to get sorted before going to 8.0
2 pc's both runing 7.2 with the dist kernel 2.2.17-mdk.
1 runs ok with the script files in /etc/xinet.d/ sutably altered to point
telnet to another app, and the real telnet to another port as listed in
/etc/services
the other pc is behaving a little oddly to say the least !
same config but telneting to port 23 goes straight to the front end login..
So I stoped xinetd made the needed addtions to inetd.conf and ran inetd
both port 23 and 17200 both point to the frontend .... ! :(
so next step chmod 0 /etc/xinet.d/* so all files in that dir are unuseable
resated inetd ,and the same occurred again.
chmod 0 /etc/services & chmod 0 /etc/xinetd.conf
no telnet fuction working as it should now be :)
stopped inetd and started xinetd
telnet to port 23 goes where it should and to port 17200
strange ?
took out the line in xinetd.conf includedir=/etc/xinetd.d/
restarted xinetd
no telnet fuctions :)
put the line back in and restarted xinetd telnet functions again
BUT /etc/services & /etc/xinetd.conf & the contents of /etc/xinetd.d/ have
nil attributes, ie no rwx or anything
So the question is does the xinet deamon tottally ignore any file attributes
including its own config file ???
or is there something sneaky Mandrake have done to mirror the config files
somewhere else as part of their security measures , rthis machine is set at
msec 3.
Just a bit confussed with this !!!!
any ideas ?
TIA
Best Regards & 73
