[ANNOUNCE] New xinetd package available for download


New cygwin xinetd-2.3.9-1 package available for download. Xinetd is a
powerful replacement for inetd. Xinetd has access control mechanisms,
extensive logging capabilities, the ability to make services available based
on time, can place limits on the number of servers that can be started, and
has deployable defence mechanisms to protect against port scanners, among
other things.

Port Notes:

The package requires cygwin-1.3.17 or newer to run.

RPC services are not supported.

To create default xinetd configuration files execute
/usr/bin/xinetd-config

Suggested packages to install: sysvinit, initscripts, chkconfig


To install the package, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.  You'll find
xinetd listed in the "Net" category.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .  I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
