I do not want to run inetd, but xiinetd and I need it for check_mk.

Hi,
What is your pfSense version ?
My version is:
2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
built on Tue Dec 12 13:45:26 CST 2017
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6
@Gertjan:
Btw :
[2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: ps ax | grep xinetd
16284 - Is 0:00.08 /usr/local/sbin/xinetd -syslog daemon -f /var/etc/xi

16284 - Is 0:00.08 /usr/local/sbin/xinetd -syslog daemon -f /var/etc/xinetd.conf -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
78733 0 S+ 0:00.00 grep xinetd
[2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: cat /var/etc/xinetd.conf
service 6969-udp
{
type = unlisted
bind = 127.0.0.1
port = 6969
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/libexec/tftp-proxy
server_args = -v
}
This xinetd service is only listening to localhost, not LAN.
Note : as far as I know, I never installed a package that includes "xinetd" - actually, I don't know what it is - what it does.
I know it is there by default.
From the output of your ps-command I can see, that your config is in /var/etc. I too have a file there, but it is empty and has size 0.
I agree with you, that xinetd seems to be installed by default, but on my box it is not running. :-((
Can you please tell me how xinetd can be started, which config files are needed and where these need to be?
TIA, Karl
