+# Serving via xinetd
+
+Some operating systems have replaced the old Unix `inetd` daemon with
+`xinetd`, which has a similar mission but with a very different
+configuration file format.
+
+The typical configuration file is either `/etc/xinetd.conf` or a subfile
+in the `/etc/xinetd.d` directory. You need a configuration something
+like this for Fossil:
+
+    service http
+    {
+      port = 80
+      socket_type = stream
+      wait = no
+      user = root
+      server = /usr/bin/fossil
+      server_args = http /home/fossil/repos/
+    }
+
+This example configures Fossil to serve multiple repositories under the
+`/home/fossil/repos/` directory.
+
+Beyond this, see the general commentary in our article on [the `inetd`
+method](./inetd.md) as they also apply to service via `xinetd`.
