Description imz 2002-08-24 20:17:09 MSD 
The man-page for xinetd.conf says \'server\' attribute is always necessary for a service. But if \'redirect\' is specified, then \'server\' is absolutely useless.

The behaviour of xinetd corresponds to what is written: it doesn\'t accept a service with \'redirect\' attribute and without a \'server\' attribute. If I add a \'service\' attribute with some value, it accepts the service. (It would be reasonable if it accepted such a service even without a useless \'server\' attribute.)

xinetd-2.3.6-alt2

Some previous version used to behave the way I\'d prefer.

I\'m not sure - the \'server\' attribute is used in libwrap checks,
so it is not absolutely useless.

Just comment: \'server\' is mean process name in the list of running processes (ps ax|grep name) isn\'t it? \'redirect\' service can be controlled by \'only from\' clause of xinetd.conf

No, server means program to execute for this service.
This attribute also used as service name in tcp_wrappers check.
