Controlling services via xinetd has some overhead associated with it - every new incoming connection will have to start the server and parse the configuration file. If it's a service (which chkconfig also controls), then the daemon stays running. It's a tradeoff between flexibility, reliability, and performance. The nice thing is you get to choose. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
