Here's are some quotes from e-mails from Chris Evans:

I guess that recommendation has now expired! The
reason was for some (often required) xinetd features
such as "connections limit per IP" and
"total connections limit"
As of vsftpd-1.1.3, these vital features are
implemented in the built-in listener.

No reason to run vsftpd from xinetd now. ;-)
Changed in 1.1.3-1. |
