Description Martin Hierling 2006-07-17 12:56:32 UTC
Hi,

the vmware-server (vmware overlay, Bug 137424 ) init script should not "need" xinetd. So that a xinetd restart does not restart vmware!! Xientd serves many network services, not only vmware. It should "use" xinetd. Also xinetd is not necessary for running vmware-server. 

regards Martin

So, why don't you tell there? ;)

I thought that is about vmware-server in generally, not about specific bugs.

will report the next one there.

regards Martin
