Bug#2133: inetd(8) doesn't say whether/when looping services reenabled
Package: netbase
Version: 1.22-1
The manpage inetd(8) describes the `.max' suffix in the inetd.conf:
The optional ``max'' suffix (separated from
``wait'' or ``nowait'' by a dot) specifies the maximum number of server
instances that may be spawned from inetd within an interval of 60 sec-
onds. When omitted, ``max'' defaults to 40.
However, it doesn't say whether disabled services are reenabled
automatically, and if so when.
If disabled services are not reenabled automatically after a timeout
they should be, IMO. If they are the timeout should be documented.
Thanks,
Ian.
