Using a sample c program from Stevens' "Unix Network Programming" inetd-0.16-4 does not terminate and leaves tcp session in CLOSE-WAIT forever. Replacing inetd with inetd from netkit-base-0.10-29 (RHL 6.0) the daytime server works properly, and no seessions are left in CLOSE-WAIT.
Adding a close(s); after line 266 of builtins.c causes the daytime server to go to TIME-WAIT state as expected.
