System name: soup
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.0D (1 update(s) to same version)
What were you trying to do?
Check config files after update to 7.0D from 7.0C to see
what had changed.
What's wrong:
Mkserv added to inetd.conf without regard to comments
already there. The new commented inted.conf has
disabled services listed at the end with a comment
# Obsolete services that are not in the Athena release.
#comsat dgram udp wait unswitched root /etc/comsat comsat
mkserv discuss blindly adds discuss to the end. This
makes the end of my inetd.conf look like this:
# Obsolete services that are not in the Athena release.
#comsat dgram udp wait unswitched root /etc/comsat comsat
discuss stream tcp nowait unswitched discuss /usr/etc/discussd discussd
What should have happened:
If we are going to bother to comment inetd.conf at all
(which is probably a good idea), then we should have
mkserv accumulate all changes to inetd.conf and add them
to the end prepended by a comment indicating that they
are standard for servers.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
