[gentoo-user] Emerging xinetd: big changes to config file
The latest xinetd that I just emerged resulted in a large change to /etc/xinetd.conf. Not unusual, I suppose, but frankly it scares me a bit. I don't really understand the purpose of the changes and I'm not sure of the consequences. My solution was to back up the old version, and then install the updated version (with etc-update). However, I'm still nervous about what will happen on the next reboot. I do have to do that from time to time. I could figure this out, granted enough spare moments, but I'm hoping there's someone out there who knows what's going on just off the top of their head. Is this update actually likely to change the behavior in any ominous way? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Emerging xinetd: big changes to config file
Well, you might look at the recent changes section of their website and see what's listed there. And there's always man xinetd.conf to get a detailed explanation of what should be in the file. What version did you upgrade from/to? I really don't recall major changes recently, but I run a testing system so the changes may have happened a while back and if you're on stable you may only just be seeing them. Is it the placing of service files into /etc/xinetd.d that you are referring to?
