>Description:

inetd rereads the inetd.conf file incorrectly when given a HUP.
By doing some simple testing in inetd.c with printf's, it
seems it does not set se_server_name correctly at a minumum.
It probably does not set se_server correctly either.  This has a
wide range of effects, specifically causing /etc/hosts.allow to
not process correctly on a per-server basis.

>How-To-Repeat:

I have the following inetd.conf file:

ident	stream	tcp	wait	kmem:kmem	/usr/local/sbin/identd	identd -w -t120
smtp	stream	tcp	nowait	qmaild		/var/qmail/bin/tcp-env	tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

Start inetd as normal.  This is the inetd that is libwrapped.
Verify that one can connect to the second service,
tcp-env in this case.  In hosts.allow have:

tcp-env : ALL : allow
ALL : DENY : twist /bin/echo %s

Now HUP inetd.  One cannot connect to port 25, tcp-env; the connect
is wrap-dropped.  Analysis of the though-to-be server name is printed
as _@foo.bar.com.  On the other hand, the first service, idnetd is
not blocked at all.  Neither tcp-env nor identd are libwrapped
internally.  All wrapping is supposed to be performed by inetd, no?

>Fix:

Unknown at the moment; currently, avoid HUPing inetd; just
kill, restart.
