The xinetd process is similar in functionality to the inetd process, which starts programs that provide Internet services. The xinetd process is automatically disabled. To enable xinetd in SUSE:

  1. Click Control Center > YAST > Network Services (xinetd).
  2. Click Enable.
  3. Tab to Status for All Services and press Enter.
  4. Highlight and press Activate All Services.
  5. Click Finish, then OK.

The xinetd process is not necessary for Teradata TARA, however, it is vital for NetBackup software.
