Synopsis: Updated xinetd package is available for Red Hat Linux 7
Advisory ID: RHBA-2000:090-02

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
