Not necessarily. Running an imap server through xinetd is one option, but I think running it as a stand-alone daemon is probably better. I tend to use xinetd for on-demand, but infrequently used services.
What are the pros and cons of using xinetd for such services?
I think both are quite subjective - Pro: I don't like running daemons for infrequently used services, they clutter up displays and make the system appear to be more loaded it really is. Con: possibly slightly increased response time on the first call. /Per Jessen, Zürich
