From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ja-JP; rv:1.1) Gecko/20021030 for VineLinux 0vl6 Description of problem: Xinetd equip load average-based resource limitation functionality. But it is disabled by default. Please add --with-loadavg configure option to the spec. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xinetd-2.3.10-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/sbin/xinetd -version 2. 3. Actual Results: xinetd Version 2.3.10 libwrap Expected Results: xinetd Version 2.3.10 libwrap loadavg Additional info: Disabling the functionality in configuration file is easy. If you don't specify "max_load" attribute, the functionality is disabled. Therefore, in the view of compatibility, enabling the functionality is no problem.
I change status from RFE to BUG. Because the man page of xinetd.conf refers the "max_load" capability without (configure-)limitation, but RedHat's xinetd doesn't support it.
