Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150506
Category:	Policy
Title:	Linux: Read /etc/inetd.* and /etc/xinetd.* files
Summary:	xinetd performs the same function as inetd: it starts programs;that provide Internet services. Instead of having such servers started at system initialization time,;and be dormant until a connection request arrives, xinetd is the only daemon process started and it;listens on all service ports for the services listed in its configuration file. When a request comes;in, xinetd starts the appropriate server. Because of the way it operates, xinetd (as well as inetd);is also referred to as a super-server.;;Note: This script only stores information for other Policy Controls.
