Greetings:
As I setup my debian box, I installed xinetd so it would be more like the RH setups I was used to. The change seemed to go fine when I installed it via dselect. I expected a conflict with inetd, but got no complaint. I did get a message that the jist was nothing that had been previously installed would be upgraded. I wasn't sure what this meant, although I had an idea...
Now trying to disable telnet, I added "disable = telnet" to my xinetd.conf file in the defaults section, but telnetd is still answering. inetd is not running.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to reinstall every application that uses inetd/xinetd?
Can you 'apt-get remove telnetd'? I mean, if you are going to have it disabled, why not just uninstall it?
