inetd vs xinetd
 

Is xinetd the same as inetd on my version of linux(RH 7.1).

I don't seem to have the same information in the xinetd.conf file as you get in the inetd.conf such as:

#service socket Protocol Flags User Program arguments

If it isn't the same file where can i find the file with this info.

Try going to this site: http://www.xinetd.org/
