Answer / anwar ahdab
I can define the xinetd, responsible for listening to
incoming connections for opened ports, and then after
finding a new connection it initiate the daemon of the
specific port, that's why some daemons can use the xinetd, ,
it's the replacement of inetd "called internet Daemon".
Q: so here is a question, why should i use the xinetd to
listen to opened ports of the ssh daemon "for example" when
the ssh daemon itself can do that?
Ans: you can make 100 daemon up and idle listening to their
opened ports, but this is wasting of processing, the xinetd
can make all these daemons off, and he listen to all opened
ports, when a new connection come to certain daemon the
daemon comes up.
