I'll give it a try, but the fault here is not uw-impad one but
update-inedtd.
looking at update-inted(8) I see :
--add ENTRY
Add an entry to /etc/inetd.conf . A description of the ENTRY
format can be found in the inetd(8) or inetd.conf(5) manual
pages (or just look at the /etc/services file). In order to pre-
vent the shell from changing your ENTRY definition you have to
quote the ENTRY using single or double quotes. You can use tabs
(the tab character or \t) and spaces to separate the fields of
the ENTRY. To add the ENTRY to a specific section in the
/etc/inetd.conf file please use the --group option in addtion to
the --add option.
If you are trying to add an entry which already exists update-
inetd won't add the entry. For uncommented entries it will do
nothing and for entries that are commented out by the comment-
chars (see option --comment-chars ) it will enable the existing
entry. If you want to completely replace an entry just remove
the entry with the --remove option first.
So i guess the problems here is that he encountered the first
commented line, un commentend it or sth like that.
I'll investigate further.
