Phil,

See near the bottom of the /etc/xinetd.conf file where it says "includedir"?

Take a look inside that directory - you should find a bunch of configuration
files for a bunch of services. With xinetd, each service lives in its own
configuration file - not in a big monster inetd.conf file.

OpenSSH doesn't run from xinetd/inetd - it runs own its own as a standalone
daemon. Take a look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and see if you see a sshd init
script.

ProFTPD *can* be run from xinetd, but I don't think it is on the default YDL
2.0 install - take a look in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ folder for "ftpd" or
"proftpd" or something like that.

There's some info on xinetd at:

http://www.macsecurity.org/resources/xinetd/tutorial.shtml

http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/November2000/article175.shtml

Also, make sure you update xinetd to the latest version using yup or
downloading the updated rpms - the older versions had some security issues.
