The eXtended InterNET Daemon (xinetd) is an open source super daemon that replaced the original inetd daemon. The xinetd daemon listens for well known services and dispatches the appropriate daemon to properly respond to service requests.
Note: Several other services recommended to be disabled in this benchmark have xinetd versions as well, if xinetd is required in your environment ensure they are disabled in xinetd configuration as well.
If there are no xinetd services required, it is recommended that the daemon be disabled.
Ensure no start conditions listed for xinetd:
initctl show-config xinetd xinetd
No start conditions should be listed for xinetd.
Remove or comment out start lines in /etc/init/xinetd.conf:
sed -i 's/^start/#start/' /etc/init/xinetd.conf
Not enabled by default on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server.
