'chkconfig --list' reveals:

xinetd based services:
chargen-dgram: off
chargen-stream: off
daytime-dgram: off
daytime-stream: off
discard-dgram: off
discard-stream: off
echo-dgram: off
echo-stream: off
eklogin: off
ekrb5-telnet: off
gssftp: off
klogin: off
krb5-telnet: off
kshell: off
rsync: off
tcpmux-server: off
time-dgram: off
time-stream: off

But 'ps aux |grep xinetd' shows that it's running:
root 3464 0.0 0.0 22532 868 ? Ss May27 0:00 xinetd -stayalive
-pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid

Question: How can I tell if this server is using xinetd?

Thanks,
Paul

It's right in front of you. Look at the rest of the output, or simply:

chkconfig --list | grep xinetd

I guess I just wasn't sure if the chkconfig output was to be fully
trusted Smile
Thanks for your assistance Greg!

xinetd is a service that runs other services as needed. It can be running
even if it's not providing any services.

I don't use it myself so someone that uses Suse or one of the other distros
that install it by default my have better information but...

According to that output you're running xinetd but xinetd isn't running
anything.

What is your concern about it?

The services are off that it's set to enable/disable, but not the
service itself, apparently.

P1,


If you do not need xinetd to run you run give following commands:

chkconfig xinetd off
service xinetd stop


Kind regards,
