A simple xinetd configuration to enable the echo service can easily be made.
Just create the following file before restarting xinetd:
/etc/xinetd.d/echo:
# description: An echo server.
service echo
{
type = INTERNAL
id = echo-stream
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
disable = no
}
Or if you are using inetd, before restarting, add
this line to your /etc/inetd.conf:
echo stream tcp nowait root internal
