Dear Mohammad, I have experiences using xinetd, there are a few major advantages over using inetd. You can add restrictions for the clients that can use the service. So if you set-up telnet or pop3 you can restrict the addresses that can use it. This is not possible with inetd that you have to use a portwrapper or a firewall to accomplish this. By the way i don't want to suggest that xinetd can replace a firewall. That is not true. Regards, Joop Boonen.
