- Things to work on for the new ports:
-
- 1) Add shutdown functions for services as needed.
-
- 2) FTP has been observed to cause a segmentation fault under Linux during
- SATAN scans. This happens when the FTP server forks/sec limit is
- reached. This does not cause insecure or unstable behavior; it only
- causes the child xinetd process to abort. Cause is Linux' lack of
- support for struct sigcontext and friends.
-
- 3) The current release of xinetd-2.1.7 logs a warning to the syslog
- LOG_WARNING facility if a logfile is found to be a symlink. Please be
- aware that, in general, you are in serious trouble if your xinetd logs
- get changed to symlinks, as root permission is usually required to do
- this. To monitor runtime state changes to the logfiles, a separate
- daemon would be a better answer than added code in xinetd which can
- impact performance on heavily loaded systems.
-
- For now, the safe bet is to log to syslog (see README.SBC).
