Message-ID: <avf8iq$omc$1@main.gmane.org> (raw)

I downloaded, compiled and am now using (via xinetd) the telnet daemon
from GNU's Inetutils. In RH distributions, I noticed the daemon takes on
the name "/sbin/in.telnetd" (or something very similar) whereas the
inetutils
telnet daemon takes on the name "/usr/libexec/telnetd".

Two questions:
 * Is there a difference between the two daemons?
and, a little more GNU install specific...
* What does the /usr/libexec directory typically hold?
    I thought after accepting the default "./configure" outputs and running
    "make && make install", the daemons would be placed in /sbin or
/usr/sbin.
