They are: inetd provides several “trivial” services internally by use of routines within itself. These services are “echo”, “discard”, “chargen” (charac‐ ter generator), “daytime” (human readable time), and “time” (machine readable time, in the form of the number of seconds since midnight, Janu‐ ary 1, 1900). All of these services are TCP based. For details of these services, consult the appropriate RFC from the Network Information Cen‐ ter. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: openbsd-inetd Version: 0.20160825-5 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@mirbsd.de The /etc/inetd.conf file does not contain even commented-out lines for the standard services. I’m attaching mildly tested sample lines that ought to be present in the file when installing the package. It’d also be a good idea to document all internal services in the manual pages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages openbsd-inetd depends on: ii init-system-helpers1.60 ii libbsd00.11.3-1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u3 ii libelogind0 [libsystemd0] 246.9.1-1+debian1 ii libevent-2.1-7 2.1.12-stable-1 ii libtirpc3 1.3.1-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-31 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii tcpd 7.6.q-31 ii update-inetd 4.51 openbsd-inetd recommends no packages. openbsd-inetd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information #echo stream tcp4nowait rootinternal #echo stream tcp6nowait rootinternal #discardstream tcp4nowait rootinternal #discardstream tcp6nowait rootinternal #chargenstream tcp4nowait rootinternal #chargenstream tcp6nowait rootinternal #daytimestream tcp4nowait rootinternal #daytimestream tcp6nowait rootinternal #time stream tcp4nowait rootinternal #time stream tcp6nowait rootinternal #echo dgram udp4waitrootinternal #echo dgram udp6waitrootinternal #discarddgram udp4waitrootinternal #discarddgram udp6waitrootinternal #chargendgram udp4waitrootinternal #chargendgram udp6waitrootinternal #daytimedgram udp4waitrootinternal #daytimedgram udp6waitrootinternal #time dgram udp4waitrootinternal #time dgram udp6waitrootinternal
