xinetd: A secure replacement for inetd.
| Name: | xinetd |
Vendor: | CERN (http://cern.ch/linux) |
| Version: | 2.3.12 |
License: | Distributable (BSD-like) |
| Release: | 2.3E |
URL: | http://www.xinetd.org |
- Summary
- Xinetd is a secure replacement for inetd, the Internet services
daemon. Xinetd provides access control for all services based on the
address of the remote host and/or on time of access and can prevent
denial-of-access attacks. Xinetd provides extensive logging, has no
limit on the number of server arguments, and lets you bind specific
services to specific IP addresses on your host machine. Each service
has its own specific configuration file for Xinetd; the files are
located in the /etc/xinetd.d directory.
Changelog
- * Tue Sep 2 05:00:00 2003 Jay Fenlason <fenlason{%}redhat{*}com 2{*}3{*}12-2{*}3E>
- Fix bugzilla #103009 -- reconfig causes xinetd to stop working
- * Thu Aug 7 05:00:00 2003 Jay Fenlason <fenlason{%}redhat{*}com 2{*}3{*}12-0{*}3E>
- New upstream version, which obsoletes most of my patches
- Remove /usr/share/man/man8/xconv.pl* fixing #90730
- Remove the servers service, which was removed from 2.3.12
- Change localization: instead of using en_US in /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd
(overriding the system default and preventing any customization),
/etc/sysconfig/xinetd sets XINETD_LANG, which is either a locale to use
or the word "none", which causes all locale environment variables to be
cleared before xinetd is started. This fixes #91403
- #77724 was fixed by the upgrade to 2.3.12
- include post 2.3.12 patch from upstream (originally by
Matthias Andree <ma+xi@dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de>) to add a new
"libwrap" parameter.
This closes bugs (#91555,#91135,#77724) by making xinetd's behavior
documented and user-configurable.
- Removed the old libwrap/TCP/wait patch. If anyone actually cares,
they can add "flags = NOLIBWRAP" to the configuration of TCP/wait
services to get the old behavior.
- Mark /etc/sysconfig/xinetd as a config file in xinetd.spec
