i appreciate your help, thanks.

'chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on' gives:

error reading information on service xinetd: No such file or directory

'/etc/init.d/xinetd start' gives:

bash: /etc/init.d/xinetd: No such file or directory

what might be some reasons for this file to be missing from my installation?


btw - Jason, your explanation was well rec'd thanks to you as well.

Net net, the ps command is telling you that you do not have xinetd
running.  Do

   chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on

to make sure it starts at boot time for runlevels 3 and 5.  Then do 

   /etc/init.d/xinetd start

to start it in your current session.

As for RPMS that put a config in that directory, go to the RH 7 CD's and
install the rpm for telnet-server, for example.
