Package: netbase
Version: 4.25
Followup-For: Bug #87240
Hi,
Is it a good idea or not , to create a dummy package like
'dummy-inetd' and add it as an alternative dependency to netbase
dependency list (openbsd-inetd | netkit-inetd | dummy-inetd) ?
Let its startup scripts say something like :
'no real inetd is run', and update-inetd say :
'you don't have real inetd, please install one soon'.
Today it is a fact of reality that quite a lot of Linux
configuration do not have any meaningful inetd services.
ssh, smtp, http, whatever are mostly served by standalone
daemons and there is no need to save RAM usage or centralize
them in inetd.conf manner. And these ident/daytime/echo/chargen
services that were built in inetd are not needed by mostbody.
