In theory, when the athena-rc package is removed, it tries to back-out
the changes to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf by copying back those
files from the way they were before athena-rc was installed. This may
not be a good idea, since other changes may have been made to those
files after athena-rc was installed. For example, when linuxconf gets
installed, it modifies those files.
We should consider not trying to remove the changes that athena-rc
made. It never really hurts to have a few more services and a few
less daemons running.
Also, someone should look at the linuxconf.spec file and see if it
modifies (or unmodifies) those files in a way we should use.
Have a nice day,
Sal.
