Heya folks,
I'm wonding if anyone can point me to a good howto document on xinetd?
The documentation on the xinetd.org website is a bit lacking (it mentions
an included utility for converting an inetd.conf file to the format used
by xinetd, but doesn't give the name of this utility, where to find it, or
how to use it. The man pages for xinetd and xinetd.conf don't mention it
at all.
Ultimately, I've got the following in inetd format:
imap stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd imapd
pop3 stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d pop3d
and I need them in xinetd format.
So far I've got something this:
# default: on
# description: The Cyrus-IMAP server
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = cyrus
server = /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
disable = no
}
and:
# default: on
# description: The Cyrus-IMAP server
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = cyrus
server = /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d
disable = no
}
It's the end of the inetd lines that have got me confused:
imap stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd imapd
^^^^^
pop3 stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d pop3d
^^^^^
What's the attribute name that I would use for this last part? Anyway, a
pointer to a more complete faq or howto on the supject would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
