where is an example inetd.conf

Does Gentoo distribute an example inetd.conf?

One which lists various ined-launchable daemons which exist in portage?

or... can somebody post one?

I want to enable ftp, telnet, rsh, rlogin, perhaps time...

Never tried, but you should use (if you really wanna use) xinetd instead of inetd, I think. I heard it is more secure (how much, I don't know). But be warned that what you are doing is dangerous....

Hi,

I'm using xinetd, and afaik there comes a sample with the distribution.

You will also find an example for cvs with xinetd in the Security guide. It is quite easy to adopt these example or use google to find examples for the services you need.

And as BB mentioned, it sounds dangerous. I would never enable ftp, telnet, rsh, rlogin and time.

yes, I know these are insecure services.

For better or worse, I am depending on the TWO firewalls for security.
This network is open. I use a lot of rsh, rlogin, and cleartext passwords.
The gentoo machine is totally insecure, but open and easy to use.

I like ssh. You can use public/private keys to allow access in a rsh way, for example.

Have you looked in
/usr/share/doc/xinetd-2.3.7/xinetd.conf.dist.sample.gz
and

usr/share/doc/xinetd-2.3.7/xinetd.conf.default.gz ?
