Exam 102-500 Topic 8 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for Lpi's 102-500 exam
Question #: 31
Topic #: 8
Which directory holds the files that configure the xinetd service when using several configuration files instead of an integrated configuration file? (Specify the full path to the directory.)

Suggested Answer:

/etc/xinetd.d/, /etc/xinetd.d
Explanation:
The /etc/xinetd.d/ directory holds the files that configure the xinetd service when using several configuration files instead of an integrated configuration file. Each file in this directory corresponds to a specific service that is managed by xinetd, such as telnet, ftp, ssh, etc. The name of the file matches the name of the service. The files in this directory contain service-specific options that override or supplement the global options defined in the /etc/xinetd.conf file. The files are read only when the xinetd service is started, so any changes require a restart of the service. The /etc/xinetd.d/ directory allows for a modular and flexible configuration of the xinetd service, as well as easier management and maintenance of the individual service files. References:
