i installed Subversion and xinetd and added Subversion as a service to xinetd.conf as instructed at

http://www.codeandcoffee.com/2007/06...rver-on-linux/

i restarted the xinetd service using /sbin/service. however, Subversion does not end up being listed in /etc/xinetd.d nor does it seem to be running and occupying the port altogether.

thanks.

also, i would like to know the location of the xinetd log file

It's getting more common to use /etc/${servicename}.d/ subdirectory for included configuration files. The point is it's easy to drop files there instead of having to edit /etc/xinetd.conf each and every time. Since /etc/xinetd.d already contains examples you should have no problem creating one for SVN. Log depends on "log_type" directive in /etc/xinetd.conf. If it's value contains "SYSLOG" it goes to syslog. BTW, next time better edit your original post. That way your thread retains 0-reply status making it easier to spot as a question that still requires a response.
