Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xinetd
If you are using the 'redirect' service of xinetd, the redirection forks
a separate copy of xinetd for each service.
e.g
service vnc-redirect
{
type = UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = nobody
wait = no
port = 50000
redirect = 109.107.34.14 5903
}
When you try and do a 'service xinetd reload' the current init script is
missing a reference to the pidfile on its reload line and does a
'killall' on all xinetd processes - incorrectly terminating anything
that uses an internal service like redirect.
