inetd line in rc.sysinit

In rc.sysinit there’s a commented out section:

Start some daemons…

#if test ! -d /dev/socket; then

echo “Starting inetd”

inetd

echo “Starting pdebug at port 8000”

pdebug 8000 &

#fi

The logic in it seems backwards though. Shouldn’t inetd be started if
/dev/socket does exist?

Start some daemons…

if test -d /dev/socket; then
echo “Starting inetd”
inetd

echo “Starting pdebug at port 8000”

pdebug 8000 &

fi

Will this properly enable inetd? Or have I missed some tricky reason why the
sense of the test is inverted?

Thanks,
Shaun

Nope, you are correct. I have pointed this out myself in the past and I
think they have said it would be fixed in a future release.

Here is the complete thread. It was stated in the thread that it has been
fixed for 6.2.

HTH,
