Hello, 

I just tried the above in my xinetd.conf and I get errors.  That is,
I put 'disable = yes' in service sections.  I also tried 'disabled',
but received the same messages.

I am following this up because I have also posted a question about
'disabled =' in the defaults section of xinetd.conf.  Are these
version differences?  I am using xinetd Version 2.1.8.8p3 from
stable/potato.  Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
