netbase: update-inetd can only add one entry for a service

normal stable testing unstable almost 10 years ago

	---------------------

	There are multiple entries in /etc/inetd.conf for the 'nntp' service.

	Please confirm that you agree to disable these entries.

	Disable inetd entries? no


	Configuring service:
	---------------------

	There are multiple entries in /etc/inetd.conf for the 'nntp' service.

	Ignore multiple entries and continue without changes? yes

The two entries are needed to support both ipv4 and ipv6. So it's surprising
that update-inetd wants to disable them.

Hi Joey,
[..]

Unfortunately update-inetd is broken by design in that, by default, it
distinguishes services based only on service names. I've described the problem
at

http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep9/#index2h1

where I also proposed a design for an update-inetd replacement, currently work
in progress:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/reconf-inetd.git;a=tree;h=720a5c1761de2a29a2c3ea1779a567a75592bc46;hb=720a5c1761de2a29a2c3ea1779a567a75592bc46

Feedback on the new design is welcome. In the meantime, we're stuck with bugs
like this.

cheers,
sez

Hi,

reconf-inetd is the replacement of update-inetd, as per DEP9. Unlike past
proposals for replacing update-inetd, this one is actually implemented and
available in experimental.

This should be of interest for services that

    - require separate inetd.conf entries for ipv4/ipv6 versions

    - have more than one implementation in the archive (eg. proftpd vs
      ftpd-ssl)

Please read sections IV & V of DEP9 on how to transition your package, and
let me know of any issues.

To test it, in a nutshell:

    - make your package install xinetd.conf(5) fragment files in
      /usr/share/reconf-inetd/, one file per service that needs an entry in
      inetd.conf

    - run reconf-inetd as root

    - check whether an entry has been added in /etc/inetd.conf.

reconf-inetd will not add inetd.conf entries for services whose server path is
non-existent, or whose protocol/service name/server path combination matches
an existing inetd.conf entry

For more details see DEP9 and the feature files at

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/reconf-inetd.git;a=tree;f=features

cheers,
sez

Changes:
 leafnode (1.12.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Install a socket-enabled systemd unit:
    - The unit is not enabled by default: there's no clear consensus
      in Debian whether socket-enabled systemd generally phases out
      inetd invocation at this point and non-systemd continues to
      see support still.
    - here's no longer any registration of inetd/nntp service
      in postinst
    - Instead provide a README.Debian describing the options of either
      enabling the systemd unit or instead to configure inetd instead
    - Demote update-inetd, openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver, tcpd
      dependencies to Suggests:
    - Drop the debconf questions related to tcpd (and also the obsolete
      question about PPP (debconf will eventually be removed entirely
      at some point, it serves hardly any purpose other than setting
      the upstream news server, which can be replaced by simply editing
      a config file)

Hi!

This seems to still be a valid concern for update-inetd. I think this
was probably closed in error as showing up in leafnode bugs page due
to the affects. Given that the new leafnode version does not use
update-inetd anymore, I'm removing the affects instead, which should
stop cluttering the leafnode bug page.

Thanks,
Guillem
