If you browsed through /etc you found a lot of directories, then you'll come
across a load of 'text' files. The ones that look sort of like pages with a
corner turned down if you use the "Icon View" in your file manager.
xinetd.conf is there but you may not have looked far enough once you saw the
xinetd directory. It isn't in there.
I always use the "K>Quick Browser>directory>more (as needed)>file reported to
be the one I need" method from the desktop to find things so that I'll
remember where the devil to look the next time. It's one of those "men are
visually linked" things I guess. :-)
This is an example of the file in question:
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
