Package: openbsd-inetd
Version: 0.20080125-2
Severity: minor

I notice that inetd "does the right thing" if I specify a numeric port
for a nonstandard daemon.  But the man page does not document this "feature".
It says only
    "The service name entry is the name of a valid service in the file
    /etc/services.'
Can I rely on inetd supporting this in the future?  If so, I propose
that this sentence be extended with "or a decimal port number".
