This might be a simple question but I never really thought of it until 
now. If I have a machine that has xinetd installed and running, but 
does not use any services via xinetd, do I even need xinetd running or 
installed?
Here is how xinetd gets started up:
Aug 22 21:07:53 deviant xinetd[978]: xinetd Version 2.1.8.9pre15 
started with libwrap options compiled in.
Aug 22 21:07:53 deviant xinetd[978]: Started working: 0 available 
service

I'm guessing since I use 0 services thru xinetd that I can turn it off 
and/or remove it. Is this correct?
