Inetd only did TCP socket activation, not of unix sockets, though. False. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/inetd.8.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/inetd.8.html The service name entry is the name of a valid service in the file /etc/services. … For UNIX domain sockets this field specifies the path name of the socket. The protocol must be a valid protocol as given in /etc/protocols. Examples might be “unix”, “tcp” or “udp”. … A protocol of “unix” is used to specify a socket in the UNIX domain. xinetd does not appear to support this feature.
