System name:		l-slide
Type and version:	POWER 7.6H
Display type:		POWER_Gt1

What were you trying to do?
	reconfigure inetd.conf to close a gapingsecurity hole.

What's wrong:
	When I sent a HUP signal to inetd it continued to accept
connections, but it failed to do anything with them.  They appeared to
hang from the remote end.

What should have happened:
	inetd should have re-read inetd.conf, and kept working.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	This is an RS6000, I hope you didn't expect a man page reference.
