Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 14:09:21 -0500 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: Reply-To: "Jamie Risk" Return-path: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org 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. - Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
