RE: xinetd info

[Joshua Davis]

If you are using RedHat 7.0, the HOME environment variable will be set.  The
'env' attribute takes care of the HOME bug in RHL 7.0.
Here is an example /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file:

service cvspserver
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        group           = cvs
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        env             = HOME=/cvshome
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/cvshome pserver
          disable         = no
}

Here's the message that I got this tip from:
