Once you get it installed you can check the xinetd managed services using: /sbin/chkconfig --list At the bottom of the output you'll see "xinetd based services" with a list of "on" or "off". Make sure only those that you need enabled are listed as "on". Normally, this is controlled in individual files under /etc/xinetd.d/ Edit the file in question and change: disable = yes to disable = no to allow xinetd to start the service Mike -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laszlo Beres Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:53 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Cannot find or start inetd(or xinetd) service on Enterprise 5.1 On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 6:41 PM, Charles Embry <csembry@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello i am installing some backup software for my dep[artments webserver. In the instructions it says in Red hat i need verify that i have the inetd (or xinetd) service started but i cannot find it or start it.
