Got inetd working, still haven't figured out Xinetd

[Katherine Moss]

Hi all,
As promised, I used the IU-Config script to configure Inetd, and while it mentions Xinetd, it only works for Inetd.  What is the equivalent script to configure Xinetd; after all, is not Xinetd more secure?  Thanks for the feedback.

'cygcheck --list xinetd' shows a '/usr/bin/xinetd-config' script.  I'd
suggest trying that (after reading the xinetd.README file for anything that
might be appropriate to the configuration).
