- - If you need to run both netkit-inetd and xinetd, with different service
- definitions, you can :
- * Remove -inetd_compat from /etc/default/xinetd so that xinetd doesn't read
- inetd.conf anymore.
- * Run "/var/lib/dpkg/info/xinetd.postrm remove"
- * Run "update-rc.d inetd defaults"
+ If both an xinetd service configuration id and an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
+ match, the xinetd one will hide the inetd.conf one, even if disabled. This
+ trick is built to simplify the logic in update-inetd, and let the
+ administrators only touch xinetd configuration and don't have
+ /etc/inetd.conf mess with that they changed behind their back.
