The eXtended InterNET Daemon ( xinetd ) is an open source super daemon that replaced the original inetd daemon. The xinetd daemon listens for well known services and dispatches the appropriate daemon to properly respond to service requests.
Rationale:
If there are no xinetd services required, it is recommended that the package be removed.
Fix:
Run the following commands to remove xinetd : apt purge xinetd
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Run the following commands to remove xinetd : apt purge xinetd
