Package: cern-httpd Version: 3.0-6 The cern-httpd postinst tries to start the daemon, like this:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/cern-httpd If the server is configured to run out of inetd, as I have it, this (probably) runs cern-httpd and hangs. If you type an HTTP request into it it works and marks the package configured, as desired. My lightly edited cern-httpd.conf is below.
