Xinetd not installed

20 New Member
Hi all,

In work I have been tasked in setting up a RedHat Enterprise Server that should be acting as a reverse proxy.

The problem is that we got a 3rd party to install it and asked them to set up Apache, Samba and VNC. Just now we are using the ILO to get access but I want to setup a VNC clint to access the server but when i configure the server I can't restart the xinetd services as it says it is unrecognised.

I am a total noob at Linux so if there is an alternative installed that does the job of XINETD I don't even know where to start.

Can anyone lend a hand and give me some commands that can verify what's running on the server ?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a file /etc/init.d/xinetd?

Try
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. chkconfig --list
to list existing services..

If this doesn't work then check if xinetd rpm is installed on box or not. by the command
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. rpm -qa |grep xinetd
if that is not installed then go to http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...&search=xinetd

Thanks 2941985

The file wasn't there and wasn't installed.

I went into Add Programs in RedHat and installed it.

The files I copied over from the old server and settings in /etc/services looks to have been picked up when I retsarted xinetd using command sevice xinetd restart.

I ran netstat -nl | grep 590* and can see

0.0.0.0:5901
0.0.0.0:5906

I tried to connect my VNC client to each of these ports but still no connection.

Is there anything else I need to do ?

PS I used the servers ip address rather than the 0.0.0.0 address.

i think that should detect your loopback address (127.0.0.1). Check if that pulls your loopback or not by using command ifconfig. If that doesn't pull the address then check the file ifcfg-lo which should be located under /etc/sysconfig/network/ . If the file is not located there then create one file and make the suiitable entries as mentioned in the screenshot.And after saving the file just restart the network service by executing the command service network restart

Nice one, thanks very much for your help and getting me started.

After your replies i installed XINETD, then installed the Firewall and configured it for the ports in question.

And it's now working,I can now VNC to my RedHat box.

I'm trying to setup a SOAPpy service under xinetd. Has someone done this sort of thing? Didn't find it from google searches or documentation. This is probably a sockets-level issue, but I was hoping someone in python land had done this with SOAPpy before. The server works fine as simple SOAP server and client pair on localhost. But when I try to put it under xinetd, it fails. Using "xinetd -d" I can see it is failing due to address...

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to implement a XML-RPC server that is called by xinetd i.s.o. listening on a TCP socket itself. I already have implemented a stand-alone XML-RPC server using SimpleXMLRPCServer, but I now want something similar, that is started via xinetd (i.e. reading/writing via stdin/stdout). Any hints or code examples?
