configuring daytime service in Linux

starting the daytime service in linux

Steps 1:

open the file "/etc/xinetd.conf"

Step2 :

add the following entry outside the default block

service daytime
{
  disable        = no
  type           = INTERNAL
  id             = daytime-stream
  socket_type    = stream
  protocol       = tcp
  user           = root
  wait           = no
