Greetings folks; It just now crossed my mind that after installing Fedora Core 6 fresh, a complete install insofar as I could do it that is, I had to have yum install xinetd in order for my current amanda configurations could continue working. Amanda has 3 services that are, or have historically, been launched from profile files in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. So in the interests of knowing which way the amanda development might need to go in the future, what are the plans for the xinetd services in future releases? Is this, and similarly managed utilities such as chargen-stream, daytime-dgram, discard-dgram, echo-dgram, eklogin, gssftp, krb5-telnet, ktalk, tcpmux-server, time-stream, chargen-dgram, cvs, daytime-stream, discard-stream, echo-stream, ekrb5-telnet, klogin, kshell, rsync & time-dgram to be migrated to another utility performing similar functions? Please advise. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
