Fedora -- start the daytime server

For certain sorts of testing, it can be handy to run the daytime (and echo) servers. 
Daytime - TCP port 13
Echo - TCP port 7
Note that you will need to open these ports on your firewall. 
dnf install xinetd
vi /etc/xinetd.d/daytime-stream
vi /etc/xinetd.d/echo-stream
service xinetd start
telnet localhost 13
The "vi" lines must find the disable line in the config file and change the setting from yes to no. Then the service gets restarted. I use telnet to verify that all is well.
