xinetd configuration

How to configure xinetd to start gnatsd

If your gnatsd will be started by xinetd (the "extended internet daemon"), create a file /etc/xinetd.d/support with the following lines (see Installing the daemon in Keeping Track):

service support
{
        disable     = no
        socket_type = stream
        protocol    = tcp
        wait        = no
        user        = gnats
        server      = /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
        server_args = gnatsd
}

or add theses lines to your xinetd.conf file, whatever is appropriate. The equal signs seem to need spaces around them with some versions of xinetd.

You need to add

support		1529/tcp		# GNATS

to /etc/services (it may be necessary to use tabulator characters to separate the fields), and to tell xinetd to reread its configuration (kill -HUP pid-of-xinetd).
