Final answer:

To enable the rsync service to be managed by the xinetd super daemon, you need to configure xinetd to listen for incoming rsync requests and spawn a separate instance of rsync for each request.

Step-by-step explanation:

To enable the rsync service to be managed by the xinetd super daemon, you would need to configure xinetd to listen for incoming rsync requests and spawn a separate instance of rsync for each request.

First, you need to create a new service configuration file for rsync in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. This file should specify the executable path for rsync and any required command-line options.

Once the configuration file is created, you need to restart the xinetd service for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the command 'sudo service xinetd restart'.
