I'm not sure... yes, we need to hit the topics hard, especially in my mind DHCP
and
NFS, but we've always talked that there could be Level 3 exams on mail servers
(SMTP, IMAP) and also Windows integration (advanced Samba). There could also
be one on directory services that could include OpenLDAP and you could make the
case that NIS (and NIS+) could fall into that category as well.
My only concern is that if we include the advanced discussion of those topics
here at Level 2, how much will we take away from what could be in a Level 3?

But is xinetd standard will all the major distros?

Yes but is it standard across most distros?
My 2 cents,
