Package: xinetd
Version: 1:2.3.14-7
Severity: normal

Hi.

I found it very strange that xinetd wouldn't start on my machine (btw, it's the 
most important problem to be fixed).

So I tried and do what was done by /etc/init.d/xinetd start, and added a -d 
option, and then it worked.

So : 
 /usr/sbin/xinetd -d -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -stayalive -inetd_compat 
-inetd_ipv6
will work OK (it stays running, and invoked services are launched),

whereas :
 /usr/sbin/xinetd -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -stayalive -inetd_compat 
-inetd_ipv6
gives :
Oct 11 16:26:23 hortense xinetd[10044]: bad address [file=/etc/xinetd.conf] 
[line=12]
Oct 11 16:26:23 hortense xinetd[10044]: A fatal error was encountered while 
parsing the default section. xinetd will exit.
Oct 11 16:26:23 hortense xinetd[10044]: Exiting...

My /etc/xinetd.conf contains :
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{

# Please note that you need a log_type line to be able to use log_on_success
# and log_on_failure. The default is the following :
# log_type = SYSLOG daemon info

interface = eth1

}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

so line 12 is about interface eth1... which is up in both cases :-/

Thanks in advance if you have an idea of what's wrong with it.

Best regards,
