Of course, we can put numeric port in inetd.conf, I just wanted to know
if debian policy allow this, as I didn't find anything about it in the
manual.
And I've got another question. Is there a way of handling "listen ports
conflicts" in debian. I think no. So if the user want to use zabbix and
webmin which also uses tcp 10000 ... he as to play with netstat and
change the default port in one of the programs..if it's possible...
If such a conflict handling doesn't exists, maybe it will be a great
idea to implement this, to be able to just inform users that the
programs he is going to install will try to use the same port as another
already installed.
