This is actually update-inetd that's not expanding the escape characters before feeding the line to itox. As update-inetd explicitely supports escape characters in its argument, it's an update-inetd bug if it doesn't expand them before feeding the line to itox. > BTW: while you're at it, why not actually install that script into xinetd? > Just add a "disable=yes" and it also doesn't start without the admin > explicitly activating it. Please open a new wishlist bug against sane-utils with a tested patch.
