xinetd is an enhanced version of inetd (internet daemon), which is basically a wrapper for other internet daemons. You can use xinetd to run FTP, BIND, Apache, etc. The benefit as opposed to standalone is that since everything goes through xinetd, you can tweak it more. Xinetd allows you to customize network utilization, set priorities for certain daemons, and tons of other crap. If you're a desktop user (or even a small server operator), its usually better to run everything in standalone. However, for larger scale stuff xinetd is invaluable to allocating resources. I guess you could somewhat think of it as "nice" (the program) for networking, but the analogy breaks down from there :) ______________________________ Justin Grote Network Architect, CCNA JWG Networks Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) SMS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) Phone: (208) 631-5440
