Hi all,

One of the centos 5.1 servers was scanned by a customer and he suggests turning off daytime on port 13. When I look at /etc/xinetd.d/daytime* the 2 files say disabled yes

So is there something else I should be looking at ?

as root run: netstat -anp | grep 13 | grep LISTEN

or fuser -n tcp 13

to find the PID that is using port 13, perhaps you have a regular inetd running at the same time as xinetd.
