1. Topic:

xinetd as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 does not handle the linuxconf web interface correctly. Internal services (echo, daytime, time, and chargen) have been added for easier configuration. In addition, an xinetd-specific way of doing access control has been fixed.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386

3. Problem description:

xinetd as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 does not handle the linuxconf web interface correctly. Internal services (echo, daytime, time, and chargen) have been added for easier configuration with chkconfig or ntsysv. In addition, an xinetd-specific way of doing access control (only_from) has been fixed.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

18686 - /etc/hosts causes denial of localhost-only services
18901 - xinetd Time service broken
18221 - linuxconf-web does not work

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Linux 7.0:

i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.i386.rpm

sources:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/SRPMS/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.src.rpm

7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name

713a6277b44b2374551092eb6f83628d 7.0/SRPMS/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.src.rpm
fa365da7b350ceb7ce24bc90a1ef8752 7.0/i386/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.i386.rpm

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
