Description Wil Harris 1999-10-07 19:42:07 UTC
During the upgrade of Linuxconf it continuely adds to the
/etc/inetd.conf file rather than checking to see if it
already has an entry. This causes the /etc/inetd.conf file
to end up looking like:

linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf
--http
#swat      stream  tcp     nowait.400      root
/usr/sbin/swat swat
#swat      stream  tcp     nowait.400      root
/usr/sbin/swat swat

linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf
--http

linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf
--http
#swat      stream  tcp     nowait.400      root
/usr/sbin/swat swat

Comment 1 Michael K. Johnson 1999-11-24 16:09:59 UTC
It used to do this, but has since been fixed.  However, we do not
attempt to remove the duplicate entries from inetd.conf, as they
are harmless and our attempts could easily do more harm than good.
