Why --multi in the update-inetd call?Because the new reconf-inetd entries are added before the postinst runs.update-inetd will see multiple telnet entries and alert the user that multiple servers exist for that service. --multi allows update-inetd to remove all three nyancat entries, two of which will then added back upon next reconf-inetd run.
But next reconf-inetd run can happen a month later. (Or never.) In the mean time, nyancat server won't be running, will it? Or did I misunderstand something?
