This is the xinetd module.
This module configures xinetd, and exposes the xinetd::service definition for adding new services.
Sets up the xinetd daemon. Has options for you in case you have specific package names and service needs.
confdir
conffile
package_name
service_name
service_restart
service_status
service_hasrestart
service_hasstatus
Additionally, all the global defaults in the main xinetd.conf can be set. By
default they are not set, allowing the internal xinetd defaults to be used:
(see man xinetd.conf
for full descriptions)
enabled
- Takes a list of service ID's to enable.disabled
- Takes a list of service ID's to disable.log_type
- Determines where the service log output is sent.log_on_failure
- Determines what information is logged when a server cannot be started.log_on_success
- Determines what information is logged when a server is started and when that server exits.no_access
- Determines the remote hosts to which the particular service is unavailable.only_from
- Determines the remote hosts to which the particular service is available.max_load
- Takes a floating point value as the load at which the service will stop accepting connections.instances
- Determines the number of servers that can be simultaneously active for a service (the default is no limit).per_source
- This specifies the maximum instances of this service per source IP address.bind
- Allows a service to be bound to a specific interface on the machine.mdns
- On systems that support mdns registration of services (currently only Mac OS X), this will enable or disable registration of the service.v6only
- Set to yes to use IPv6 only.passenv
- The value of this attribute is a list of environment variables from xinetd's environment that will be passed to the server.env
- The value of this attribute is a list of environment variables that will be added to the environment before starting a server.groups
- If the groups attribute is set to "yes", then the server is executed with access to the groups that the server's effective UID has access to.umask
- Sets the inherited umask for the service.banner
- Takes the name of a file to be splatted at the remote host when a connection to that service is established.banner_fail
- Takes the name of a file to be splatted at the remote host when a connection to that service is denied.banner_success
- Takes the name of a file to be splatted at the remote host when a connection to that service is granted.
Sets up a xinetd service. All parameters match up with xinetd.conf(5) man page.
