Bug#2543: update-inetd too picky about whitespace
Package: netbase
Version: 1.26-1
While configuring a system, I got the message:
Setting up netstd ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/netstd_misc ...
Trying to add the following entry:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
There is already an entry for telnet in /etc/inetd.conf,
but I don't recognise it. Here is what it looks like:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Do you want to ignore this potential problem and continue, or would
you rather not do so now ? Continue? (n/y)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion, whitespace should be normalized (e.g. along the lines
of tr -s) when testing for entry matches.
