[olug] SuSE 9.0 proc question

[Brian Roberson]

<OT>
Not to start a holy war.... but most security people are on the other side of the fence
e.g. inetd is the devil and should never be used. I dont personally feel this way, 
I just prefer not to run inetd. I personally do not suggest running anything under 
inetd - services under inetd typically get forgotten about and go on to make security holes - 

It's all personal preference
