You should know that the Apache guys don't recommend running it from inetd, and it may not even work, but if you're aware of that, then you do it like this:
1) Set ServerType in/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to inetd.
2) Put this in your/etc/inetd.conf file (Make sure to change the path appropriately): http stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/httpd httpd
3) Make sure you've got this in your/etc/services file: http 80/tcp
4) SIGHUP your inetd daemon.
That should do it, but like I said, Apache doesn't guarantee this method anymore. You'd really be better off starting it up independently.
Presumably you're trying to start a distribution flame war, but I'll reply anyway.
You're probably referring to OpenBSD, which places a high priority on security right out of the box. Unfortunately, a secure OS is no replacement for a smart system administrator. It doesn't really matter what you're running if you're incompetent. That said, I must admit that I find RH to be a little too overenthusiastic with the large number of daemons it starts up by default. Of course, anyone with a clue will go in and switch everything unnecessary off as soon as the installation's finished, but it would have been nice if they could have made it a bit more secure to start with.
Well done. You managed to reply to my post without making a single reference to what I actually wrote. Do you feel proud? Do you feel happy?
I said "where one side never has to see any blood, and all the bleeding's done by the other side." Don't quote me out of context.
Regarding Kuwait, are you trying to say that the U.S. went in because they felt so broken up about how Kuwait was being oppressed by those nasty Iraqis? Get a grip on reality.
And once again, you avoid my point and go off on your own little tangent with your final comment. Let me repeat: I am not saying that getting killed in war is good.
Gee, you sound like one intelligent dude. Why don't we all get down on our knees and lap up the propaganda that the American media feeds us? I mean, after all, we all owe our freedom to the wonderful forces of the United States, don't we?
Listen, if you'd actually bothered to read my post, you would have seen that nowhere did I advocate giving an advantage to the opponents. What I'm saying (and what you seem to have missed completely) is that it's never a good thing to have an army and a public that's desensitized to killing. Do you really think the U.S. got into the Gulf War because they pitied all those poor Kuwaitis? Not a chance. They saw their oil supplies threatened, and they went in to ensure that the flow of barrels didn't get cut off. Not to mention the profit from insider trading that a certain current presidential candidate made just before his father gave the order to go in...
I read Ender's Game more than ten years ago. Technology like this is only bringing it nearer to reality. War isn't some game - it's women and children screaming and dying in their own body waste, it's families being torn apart and never seeing each other again, it's being forced to beat your neighbor because they're a different race from you.
And the U.S. Army wants to make it into a video game.
I think this is all part of the "virtualizing" of war. Think back to the Gulf War, with all those videos from the video-guided bombs as they home in on the target. It doesn't feel like they're actually killing people, does it?
I'm willing to bet that people who've been trained in machines like this one don't see it as training for killing - it's all just a big video game, right? Doesn't hurt anyone, right?
How long will it take before they start representing "targets" as icons rather than real video? "I just wiped out three of those blinking blue squares - what do you suppose they were?"
Yeah, let's fight a war where one side never has to see any blood, and all the bleeding's done by the other side. Go, U.S. Army! You guys must be real proud of your achievements.

Hey, go easy on the guy - he's just blue-skying; there's no need to stomp all over him.
Anyway, the only logical reason for wanting to see Linux on the X-Files is that it would be cool
Do you not see how you're contradicting yourself? You say:
Realistic training is vital for combat effectiveness and survival.
Yet you continue on by saying:
The advantages of virtual reality simulations are cost and safety.
Virtual training is not realistic, and war is neither cheap nor safe.
