It's easy enough, all you need do is translate the single line from
/etc/inetd.conf to a file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. So, one I use
when the firewall brings up the internet connection, for inetd:
[cdaly at domain Hobbiton cdaly]$ grep ppp-up /etc/inetd.conf.rpmsave
ppp-up stream tcp nowait.400 root /etc/ppp/ppp.faenor ppp.faenor up
and for xinetd:
[cdaly at domain Hobbiton cdaly]$ more /etc/xinetd.d/ppp-up
# Converted by inetdconvert
service ppp-up
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /etc/ppp/ppp.faenor
server_args = up
disable = no
}
while there's an entry in /etc/services to associate a port number with
this service:
[cdaly at domain Hobbiton cdaly]$ grep ppp /etc/services
ppp-up 7652/tcp
Note the "Converted by inetdconvert" line in the /etc/xinetd.d/ppp-up
file. I presume that happened at upgrade time when I moved from RH6x to
RH7x. You should be able to run that manually... Once the file is in
place in /etc/xinetd, you can mamage that service using "chkconfig"
