Trying to create a simple xinetd style server without needing to create a full service first. I have the following file which is located at /etc/xinetd.d/myscript
:
service tester
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
port = 8087
wait = no
user = root
server = /root/prog
}
but I keep getting the following error when restarting xinetd:
service/protocol combination not in /etc/services
The solution is to add type = UNLISTED
as seen below, and as discussed at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-list/2004-October/msg00146.html
service tester
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
port = 8087
wait = no
user = root
server = /root/prog
type = UNLISTED
}
