install xinetd

hi everyone,

I have a new installation of Fedora Core 4 that does not appear to have
xinetd installed for some reason.

The xinetd.d directory is present in /etc but there is no actual xinetd
executable present on the system also there is no xinetd.conf file.

If I do service xinetd start I get xinetd unrecognized service.

There is an rpm for xinetd at
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib....1-3.i386.html
but as this is an old distro I was wondering if I will blow up my linux
install by installing it.

(apt-get is not an option here as this install is running as I am
offsite so do not have network access but can download files and
transfer to this machine)

any advice would be much appreciated

Ok, did you think to try the Fedora web site and clicking Downloads?

I'll be nice, though. Look here:
