Mandrake 7.2 can be setup to use xinetd instead of the regular inetd in which case the /etc/inetd.conf file is not the right way to setup the server. Instead a file needs to be placed in /etc/xinet.d with basically the same information as goes in inetd.conf.

A while ago I (Mark) emailed Ivo of mailto:Ivo.Panacek@regionet.cz and he sent me the following redhat 7.0 xinetd scripts, with permission to use them here:

Hi,

I'm switching to 7.0 on my workstations (home+office) mainly because my video card (Matrox G400 on both) work MUCH better under XFree 4.0.1.

Difference between inetd and xinetd is simple: entries are not just lines in /etc/inetd.conf but files in /etc/xinet.d directory. So life with xinetd is more simple. You need just add two files on proper place and rpm --erase removes them itself. No patching in %post and %postun sections. Maybe it would be better to create separate RPM for RedHat 6.x and for RedHat 7.x.

Here are those two files, the work (InterBase too) on RedHat 7.0. Maybe they could be better but you can start with them:

[ivop@roger xinetd.d]$ cat interbase

⁠ default: on

⁠ description: Interbase server

service gds_db { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/interbase/bin/gds_inet_server } [ivop@roger xinetd.d]$ cat interserver

⁠ default: on

⁠ description: Interbase JDBC server

service interserver { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/interclient/bin/interserver } [ivop@roger xinetd.d]$

I'm not quite in catch, maybe root is no more the right user.
