Package: openbsd-inetd
Version: 0.20080125-2
Severity: minor
We had a problem using heartbeat with /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd. When
openbsd-inetd is already running and the initscript is invoked a second time with
"start" error code 1 is returned.
According to the Debian Policy[1] error code 0 is expected. Find attached
a patch which solved our problem.

"The init.d scripts must ensure that they will behave sensibly (i.e.,
returning success and not starting multiple copies of a service) if
invoked with start when the
service is already running, or with stop when it isn't, and that they
don't kill unfortunately-named user processes. The best way achieve this
is usually to use
start-stop-daemon with the --oknodo option."
