#nflug on efnet

[David Mangani]

I'm still not sure how to get this going. In RH9 I have xinetd. It does 
start and run at boot time. When I check in the xinetd.config file its 
has nothing in it at all about result encrypt. Below I have pasted the 
contents of my file.

What do I need to include in here?

TIA
