Re: pros/cons of running services from inetd vs standalone daemons

inetd will cause them to start a liiiitle bit slower, and adds something extra to break. But I've never had a problem with inetd/xinetd, with the exception being user error but with anything I'm touching thats not unlikely.

Any opinions on the reasons to run services from inetd vs leaving them running as daemons?

The main thing that comes to mind is for busy services like an MTA/email or Samba there is less overhead because there aren't alot of processes being spawned / forked. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
