Check server startup for xinetd and Plesk
Posted: 18 Oct 2014, 15:40
Currently when running the security check it tells you: Check server startup for xinetd
On most servers xinetd is not needed and should be stopped and disabled from starting if it is not required.
When running Plesk xinetd is required as services such as proftpd use it. Disabling xinetd will cause you many problems.
I propose checking to see if the server is running Plesk then if so then hide that warning. A universal way to check to see if you are running Plesk is to check for the Plesk config file. This file is in the same location across all platforms: /etc/psa/psa.conf
