Error description

  • The inetd server hangs if inetd.conf contains only one
service entry, the entry is flagged as "wait", inetd
has spawned the service, and then the entry is removed
from inetd.conf and inetd is refreshed.  After refresh,
inetd no longer responds to any SRC command, such as
"lssrc -l -s inetd" (all lower case).  Instead, the
SRC commands time out.
