The internal time service of xinetd does not work, or if it does, it is significantly different that previous inetd implementations. Using rdate to set time from a LAN connection generates 'connection refused' no matter what. It would seem to be a problem with libwrap -> xinetd: [root@junior /tmp]# rdate -s feenix rdate: couldn't connect to host feenix: Connection refused Log: Oct 11 04:01:33 localhost xinetd[24131]: FAIL: time libwrap from=192.168.10.2 None of the following in /etc/hosts.allow works: ALL : ALL, ALL : 192.168.10.2, time : ALL, INTERNAL : ALL. ALL : <hostname>. Nor does moving both hosts.deny and allow out of the way completely. (Restart xinetd on each test.)
I forgot to say that telnet, wu-ftp, rsh, and rlogin are all working fine. Config file: { wait = no user = root disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp server = INTERNAL }
This is fixed in xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.
