Package: update-inetd
Version: 4.31
Severity: important
Installing tftpd-hpa did not result in *-inetd being launched,
counter to expectation. /etc/inetd.conf was correctly created/populated,
but inetd was not started.
'man update-inetd' says
After the /etc/inetd.conf file has been changed, update-inetd
will send a SIGHUP signal to the inetd process to make sure that
inetd will use the new /etc/inetd.conf file
But if /etc/inetd.c has never yet had an entry (eg; init.d/inetutils-inetd's
check_no_services() causes a no-op exit) and there is no inetd running to
receive the SIGHUP, shouldn't inetd then be launched for its first time
ever?
This is particularly acute for preseed installs, where the (eg; tftp) data/
configs have been all laid out, and inetd should be expected to kick off
when tftpd-hpa gets installed, but inetd never runs until the system is
rebooted.
