Dear maintainer,

   debian/postinst installs nullidentd into inetd:

     update-inetd --group INFO --add 'ident\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\tnobody\t/usr/sbin/nullidentd\tnullidentd'

   IPv6 support is trivial to add; just add a line with tcp6 instead of tcp:

     update-inetd --group INFO --add 'ident\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\tnobody\t/usr/sbin/nullidentd\tnullidentd'
     update-inetd --group INFO --add 'ident\t\tstream\ttcp6\tnowait\tnobody\t/usr/sbin/nullidentd\tnullidentd'

Regards,

Hi,

since nullident was salvaged by in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative I
tried to apply your suggested patch[2].  I might have misinterpreted your
suggestion.  If I uncomment this line[2] this leads to errors in postinst.
Feel free to provide a MR which properly implements your suggestion.

Kind regards
     Andreas.
