Why does xinetd use a udp port? The port number is not always the same if service xinetd restart is done. I can find nowhwere that this is configured. I assume the xinetd process starts out of /etc/rc.d/init.d? But why does it set up the udp connection? [root@xxx root]# netstat -natpu | grep xinetd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20512/xinetd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:119 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20512/xinetd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:760 0.0.0.0:* 20512/xinetd [root@xxx root]# ps aux | grep xinetd root 20512 0.0 0.2 2068 920 ?
