Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xinetd
If you are using the 'redirect' service of xinetd, the redirection forks a separate copy of xinetd for each service. e.g service vnc-redirect { type = UNLISTED socket_type = stream protocol = tcp user = nobody wait = no port = 50000 redirect = 109.107.34.14 5903 } When you try and do a 'service xinetd reload' the current init script is missing a reference to the pidfile on its reload line and does a 'killall' on all xinetd processes - incorrectly terminating anything that uses an internal service like redirect.
