2000-11-01 -+- Atif Ghaffar -+- atif@developer.ch -+- Excellent article Frédéric, I am moving to xinetd now.
I really like the transparent proxy feature (port redirection)
Some times it is very useful to be able to do this on a host.
For example in java applets that want to talk to some server (example IRC server)
can only talk back to the same server from where the class file was served (security restrictions)
Here I can define my port 6667 in the xinetd.conf and probably redirect it to a real irc server.

2001-01-10 -+- Brian Seppanen -+- seppy@chartermi.net -+- Speaking of TFTP daemon's. We're running one with redhat-7.0, and I'd
like to limit the access times to a fifteen minute interval during
which we grab some router configs. I've tried the access_times: option
and it didn't seem to prevent me from grabbing a config outside of the
allowed time.
To whomever had problems with tftpd we were supposedly having some problems
with tftpd. They don't appear to be happening anymore. Right now, we're
blocking tftpd with libwrap and hopefully access times, because I was
told putting a tftpd access list wasn't working. Not sure about that as
I picked up on the project later.
Any ideas?

I have read every article FAQ, source of information I could find regard
sendmail and xinetd. In short xinetd appears to allow it to send but
refuses all incoming connections. The information for setting up pop3
worked and pop3 works as it should under xinetd, however sendmail does
not, what am I missing.

2001-04-17 -+- Gordon Berry -+- gberry@aea12.k12.ia.us -+- After spending 4 days trying to rebuild a Linux system with updates (to RH7) (and the new xinetd superserver), for email service to my real domain and 9 virtual domains, here's what I found:
There are two forms of "virtual e-mail domains" with (particularly RedHat) Linux. If the Sendmail config is used, everything is done in sendmail's configuration, and duplicate usernames have to be "worked around"; RedHat 6 offered a means of creating virtual domains that uses separate passwd & shadow & mail files and folders. The inetd.conf pertinent line was:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vpop3d /usr/sbin/ipop3d
and each virtual domain has a unique IP number on the eth0 interface.
I finally was able to get this approach to work by binding the standard ipop3 to my main domain's IP, and creating a new "vpop3d" file that contains an entry like this (for >each< virtual domain):
service pop3
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
bind = 205.221.74.9
server = /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vpop3d
server_args = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += USERID HOST
log_on_failure += USERID HOST
}
(with the appropriate IP numbers in each case).
In general, xinetd handles the tcpd shadow passwords, so that part of the original inetd line becomes "taken care of". xinetd just starts a "vpop3d" service for each virtual domain's IP number.
BTW, the setup from RedHat 6 also modified the sendmail.cf file at least in ruleset 0, It seems to me a pretty good way of handling virtual domains, except that imap is not handled for the virtual domains, they're POP3 only. Maybe somebody will come up with a "vimap4d" daemon.
When I really get comfortale with this, I'll reduce the logging!
Hope this helps someone else.

What is the best method to reduce the 30 second delay time for ipop3?
Hello,
I just ran across this. You can eliminate the delay by commenting out 2 lines in the /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 file..
# log_on_success += USERID
# log_on_failure += USERID
These two lines log when a user tries to log on. The same goes for pop3s.
The question I am trying to find an answer to when I found you message is why does this cause a delay??? I would like to keep logs of who is trying to log in but that delay sucks.
I hope this helps. if you figure out a way to eliminate the delay and still keep the logging in place let me know.

an easy way to see if they are on is...

# chkconfig telnet on

2002-12-12 -+- Rong Zhang -+- zhroy@hotmail.com -+- I 'm using pop3 (Qpopper v4.0.4) through xinetd (V 2.3.9-0.73). The OS is Redhat 7.3, We have a problem recently, since the pop server will died suddenly without any error messages in the server's system logs. There is a error message show in the client side (IE, Outlook), which is:
" The server responded with an error. Account: Dave@amcable.net ', Server: 'mail.amcable.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '<86>Dec 10 12:00:15 xinetd[12916]: START: pop3 pid=29525 from=xxx.25.0.34+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4) at mail.amcable.net starting. ', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90 " ,
At this time, the system is not very busy (we have 2 CPUs, 1.5G RAM), the load is not very high either. And there was only 60-80 instances invoked by xinetd. If I restarted xinetd, everything will be fine then. Is there anything wrong with my xinetd? It looks like the pop server is not really died, but the xinetd refused the request and stop running. How can I do for that? How to configure and tune the xinetd? Please find my xinetd.conf and pop3 insides /etc/xinetd.d below:
================================
/etc/xinetd.conf
defaults
{
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 100 10
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
==================================
/etc/xinetd.d/pop3
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
instances = 100
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/in.popper
server_args = -R -c -s -T 120 -t /var/log/pop3.log
}
==================================
I really appreciate if any one can give me a hand. Thanks a lot -+- 207.61.193.42 = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

2003-10-14 -+- Brian -+- Brianbarlow@mail.com -+- I am a Newb to Linux and xinetd. I am interested in securing a machine to be a web server. I would like to deny some of the services completely. Is it as simple as adding the following to the xinetd.conf?
Service finger
{
no_access =0.0.0.0/0
}
I have tried this and am still able to perform the service from my command prompt.
Do the other items such as socket type, wait, user and server needed to simply shut a service off?
Is there a better way to completely disable the service?
Thank You in advance,
Brian

2006-01-08 -+- Kevin -+- -+- I am a new linux user and I installed xinetd thinking it would be a better way to secure my server compared to tcp wrappers. I installed swat and getting the service is a pain. The reason I say that is because I've looked at everyones example /etc/xinetd.d/swat examples and mine is the same. Yet, when I go to use the service it does not work. I debug it with xinetd -d and it says address in use already error. I dont get it. It works I alter the file then I can't get it to work again.
Any suggestions.. It seems buggy I am running debian sarge. -+- 68.78.158.150 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050925 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2sarge5)
