Description of problem: On FC2, the internal Xinetd "services" service no longer works: [root@station1 root]# chkconfig services on [root@station1 root]# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart Stopping xinetd: [ OK ] Starting xinetd: [ OK ] [root@station1 root]# telnet 127.0.0.1 9098 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused /var/log/messages has: Jun 11 20:35:19 station1 xinetd[29290]: No such internal service: services/stream - DISABLING On RHEL3/FC1 outputs the following: # chkconfig services on # telnet 127.0.0.1 9098 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Looks like upstream removed it from 2.3.12 without mentioning it in the changelog, and I never noticed (There's only ~5300 lines of diffs between 2.3.12 and 2.3.13). You might want to ask them why (www.xinetd.org). In the mean time I should remove it from the Fedora spec file.
