[Bug 280053] Re: xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration
Where in the documentation does it say that the disable = yes takes precedence? In the quoted text: Note that the service disable attribute and DISABLE flag can prevent a service from being enabled despite being listed in this attribute. It _can_ prevent a service from being enabled, but not it _will_, meaning that no deterministic behaviour is indicated for this case. ** Changed in: xinetd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xinetd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280053 Title: xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinetd/+bug/280053/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 280053] Re: xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration
I reported it because I believe that disable should take precedence from my reading of the man-page. Furthermore making disable overrule enable is the most secure thing to do if there is any ambiguity about whether a service should be enabled or disabled in the configuration file. If you have read the entire man-page and determined that my understanding is wrong, please feel free to close the bug. I have no need to argue further about a 5 year old bug-report that no one has looked at in 4 years, and which exists in a piece of unloved legacy software. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xinetd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280053 Title: xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinetd/+bug/280053/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 280053] Re: xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration
I've tested it, by downloading the Karmic Koala Kubuntu beta live image, running apt-get update, and then apt-get install xinetd to install the xinetd daemon. Altering the /etc/xinetd.conf file as described in the original bug report, still enables the chargen service. I also verified that the documentation still states that the disable = yes line in the service configuration takes precedence. So this bug is still present in Karmic. -- xinetd enabled is not overruled by disable in service declaration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xinetd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
