puppet-xinetd

Overview

Install, enable and manage xinetd. Manage existing services and configure new ones as needed.

• xinetd : Main class to install and enable the xinetd service.
• xinetd::service : Definition to manage existing xinetd-based services.
• xinetd::serviceconf : Definition to create configuration for new services.

The xinetd::service definition is a very thin wrapper around puppet's service type, and is here only for the sake of completeness.

Examples

Enable the rsyncd service with its original default configuration (will install and enable xinetd automatically) :

xinetd::service { 'rsync': }

Disable the above service :

xinetd::service { 'rsync': enable => false }

Create and enable a new service which will return vmstat output (will install and enable xinetd automatically) :

xinetd::serviceconf { 'vmstat':
  service_type => 'UNLISTED',
  port         => '24101',
  user         => 'nobody',
  server       => '/usr/bin/vmstat',
}

Remove the above service :

xinetd::serviceconf { 'vmstat':
  ensure => 'absent',
}
