Public bug reported:
I am installing bootp, but it doesn't have a proper configuration. the
documentation referst to inetd.conf, but the actual update-inetd says
xinetd is not fully supported.
Running: sudo update-inetd --add
"bootps\tdgram\tudp\twait\troot\t/usr/sbin/bootpd\tbootpd\tbootptab"
which is in the manual doesn't work, as inetd.conf is not being
currently used in standard installations.
If you want it to use inetd.conf you have to set UPDATE_INETD_NOXINETD,
which is not reflected in update-inet man, nor --help option. (This is
another bug). And although I haven't tried, it should work (I had a look
into the update-inetd code).
I would propose:
a) Update the bootpd man page to reflect the entry needed in xinetd.conf
(thought looking at the other examples might be easy to do)
b) Create a file /etc/xinetd.d/bootpd with the usual configuration parameters,
or give an option at install time to create it.
I may say that this is because tftpd installed xinetd, but as it can be a usual
application to use in PXE netboot, this case should be considered
