Information
The eXtended InterNET Daemon ( xinetd ) is an open source super daemon that replaced the original inetd daemon. The xinetd daemon listens for well-known services and dispatches the appropriate daemon to properly respond to service requests.
Rationale:
If there are no xinetd services required, it is recommended that the daemon be disabled.
Solution
Run one of the following command to disable xinetd :
# chkconfig xinetd off
