Question
bind xinetd to external port
I’ve setup a hello world service:
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
with xinetd:
service hello
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
port = 8000
wait = no
user = root
server = /home/github/hello
}
and opened port 8000 with ufw:
$ sudo ufw status
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
22 ALLOW Anywhere
8000 ALLOW Anywhere
8000 on eth0 ALLOW Anywhere
22 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
8000 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
8000 on eth0 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
This works locally:
$ nc 127.0.0.1 8000
hello
but not from a remote machine:
nc [filtered ip address] 8000
<hangs>
Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
