NAME
Config::Inetd - Interface inetd's configuration file
SYNOPSIS
use Config::Inetd;
$inetd = Config::Inetd->new;
if ($inetd->is_enabled(telnet => 'tcp')) {
$inetd->disable(telnet => 'tcp');
}
print $inetd->dump_enabled;
print $inetd->dump_disabled;
print $inetd->{CONF}[6];DESCRIPTION
Config::Inetd provides an interface to inetd's configuration file (usually named inetd.conf); it basically simplifies checking and setting the enabled/disabled status of services and also allows for dumping them by a given status.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
$inetd = Config::Inetd->new('/path/to/inetd.conf');Omitting the path to inetd.conf will cause the default /etc/inetd.conf to be used.
METHODS
is_enabled
Checks whether a service is enlisted as enabled.
$inetd->is_enabled($service => $protocol);Returns true if the service is enlisted as enabled, false if enlisted as disabled and undef if the service does not exist.
enable
Enables a service.
$inetd->enable($service => $protocol);Returns true if the service has been enabled, false if no action has been taken.
It is recommended to precedingly call is_enabled() with according arguments supplied to determine whether a service is disabled.
disable
Disables a service.
$inetd->disable($service => $protocol);Returns true if the service has been disabled, false if no action has been taken.
It is recommended to precedingly call is_enabled() with according arguments supplied to determine whether a service is enabled.
dump_enabled
Dumps the enabled services.
@dump = $inetd->dump_enabled;Returns a flat list that consists of the enabled entries as seen in the configuration file.
dump_disabled
Dumps the disabled services.
@dump = $inetd->dump_disabled;Returns a flat list that consists of the disabled entries as seen in the configuration file.
INSTANCE DATA
The inetd configuration file is tied as instance data (newlines are preserved); it may be accessed directly via @{$inetd->{CONF}}.
CAVEAT
It is strongly advised that the configuration file is backuped first if one is intending to work with the default (e.g., system-wide) configuration file and not a customized one.
