Hi,

I want to run Hotwayd for accessing my hotmail account using sylpheed,
I've emerged xinetd, I can't figure out how to start xinetd.

I've tried
Code:
 $ cd /usr/sbin/
 $ ./xinetd


I then try to get the pid number
Code:
 $ ps -eo "%p %c"  | grep xinetd

This returns nothing so I'm assuming that xinetd hasn't started.
So how do I start xinetd and also start it at boot?

Thanks,
John

Plus:
Code:

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

to start it up for the first time after rc-update (without a reboot).
