Xinetd not installed

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.
