RH7.1 question.

hi ya...

i like the /etc/rc.d/init.d/foo  stop   and start method

i didnt like that all the individual services are
now explicity defined in each file in /etc/xinetd.d
	- went around to each file ... one by one to 
	check it... ( to explicitly disable it )

where as, in the old setup, all the config items
was all in one file /etc/inetd.conf.  though it was not really
confiurable/flexible but was easy to add stuff and add/delete services  )

at least its easily fixable a dozen different ways ???

c ya
