Why is xinetd ignoring 'bind' option?

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – On a server with proftpd controlled by xinetd (plesk/centos FWIW), I want to make proftpd listen only on a specific ip address. I've tried putting bind = 12.34.56.78 in /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa, and also putting DefaultAddress 12.34.56.78 in /etc/proftpd.conf, but it seems not to work. After I restart xinetd, nmap shows that port 21 is still being listened on for my other public ip. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Just as a test I commented out the whole ftp service in the xinetd config file and that did disable the service, so I'm clearly in the right place, but the bind options see (HowTos)

I installed proftpd under xinetd and it appears to be working...I figured it would make sense to launch deluge-web under xinetd since i don't really use it much.

Code: /etc/xinetd.d$ cat deluge-web service deluge-web { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = deluge server = /usr/bin/deluge-web instances = 20 port = 8112 }

I have the file path right:

How to disable ProFTP in Linux 2 years 32 weeks ago

First, look in your /etc/xinetd.d/ directory and see if there’s a file named psa_ftp in there.

I have talk installed: yum install talk talk-server

And I have /etc/xinetd.d/talk set to disabled and /etc/xinetd.d/ntalk set to enabled

I also have opened port 518/udp on server and laptop and enabled xinetd.service

sudo systemctl enable xinetd.service sudo systemctl start xinetd.service sudo systemctl status xinetd.service says that it is running.

AFAIK, the configuration is identical on lap

Can I use all inetd settings with xinetd? I know inetd is not secure, so I wanted to switch my plans to xinetd.

I was planning on using inetd like this: inetd -C 12 -s 1. The flags correspond to max-connections-per-ip-per-minute and max-child-per-ip.

If I use xinetd, would I be able to continue using those two settings?

Why rsh shows this behavior? 6 weeks 4 days ago

I am working with rsh.

When I run rsh localhost ulimit -n , it shows 1024.

But that should be 12000.

Because ulimit -n gives 12000.

But when I run service xinetd restart , it gives the hard limit of file descriptor. i.e, 12000.

Why all these weird things happens.

Should I use inetd or xinetd? 18 weeks 5 days ago

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

I see openbsd-inetd is installed by default but there are quite a few mentions of xinetd in Ask Ubuntu.

I have a custom service to install. inetd would provide all the features I need. Should I be using inetd or xinetd to be most compatible with future updates?
