Hmm, I did wonder why you stopped answering my messages.

Fine.

:-( Does this mean the bug has been found by Debian users only and that it
hasn't been forwarded upstream?

Yes, I can. smbd works fine under xinetd, the problem is with nmbd only.

According to the bug tracking system, he still is the maintainer.
/usr/doc/xinetd/changelog.Debian.gz says that xinetd was moved to non-free
at version 2.2.1-3. This was done on "Sat, 14 Mar 1998 03:31:50 -0500". I
think it is a bad thing that the reason why it was moved is not mentioned
at all in the changelog (or anywhere else for that matter).
