help with xinetd

["Scott" <ReplyToListOnly@yahoo.com>]

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?

Thanks,
Scott
