I was playing with xinetd on another distro and decided that I kind of liked it and wanted to install it onto my debian distro.
Well, I wouldn't like to miss its extended features either.
I was a little surprised to find that I could not then remove the inetd package.
Some rather old issue, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=68853 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=206419 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212759
Does this mean that I have both 'super servers' installed at once?
Installed: yes, run: no.
Isn't there some way to remove this?
xinetd will divert netkit-inetd so only xinetd will be run: fernst@live:~$ ps aux | grep [i]net root 1240 0.0 0.0 2112 172 ? S Nov05 0:00 /usr/sbin/xinetd -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -inetd_compat fernst@live:~$ dpkg -l '*inet*' | grep ^ii ii netkit-inetd 0.10-9 The Internet Superserver ii xinetd 2.3.12-2 replacement for inetd with many enhancements Just install xinetd (it will be the only superserver to be run) adjust your config (you will be prompted to do so) and enjoy. HTH, Flo
