After updating to xinetd-2.3.9-0.70 can no longer telnet nor FTP. Mesage in /var/log/messages is: "libwrap refused connection to ftp". We are running RH 7.0 on i686.
I recently updated my server with RHN and my ftp server and pop services do not seem to work after the patches. The only thing I can possibly trace it back to would be the update for xinetd RHSA-2002:196-09. I receive two messages in my /var/log/messages file when inetd starts.... Nov 4 09:29:32 redoctober xinetd: xinetd shutdown failed Nov 4 09:29:38 redoctober xinetd[11049]: Bad log-on_failure flag: PID [line=11] Nov 4 09:29:38 redoctober xinetd[11049]: A fatal error was encountered while p$ Nov 4 09:29:38 redoctober xinetd[11049]: Exiting... Nov 4 09:29:38 redoctober xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
I am not sure exactly how I did it but I think I may have gotten it to work. I updated to the most current kernel and all the other patches I could find and that didn't seem to do anything. Then I went to the xinetd directory and looked at the sample.config. The FTP section had userid listed rather than uname in the config. I changed that and I think that might have done the trick. I am still doing testing to see if I actually got it but it looks like xinetd could start cleanly in the log and I can ftp and pop3 into my server.
