No, it is a stupid mistake of mine. What I did find, however, is that
fnord fails to serve anything if it doesn't have a command-line
parameter (even if it isn't a valid directory). So that
mini-inetd 2000 -- /usr/sbin/fnord
Fails to deliver any service, whereas
mini-inetd 2000 -- /usr/sbin/fnord a b
which runs fnord as a (argv[0]) with parameter b runs fine. Do you have
an idea ? That is weird, and should probably be mentioned in the
documentation.
Cheers !
Vince
