I don't know why the PR was closed this way, but given that the bug report is simply a statement of a fact, without saying why you consider this fact to be a bug, or any other justification for wanting the change, closing it as "works as intended" seems like a perfectly reasonable response. If you had explained *why* you wanted that changed, and provide some justification for doing so (i.e. - point out that no inetd compliant program, so the default config of the port won't run on the default config of FreeBSD), you might have gotten a different response. Of course, that kind of discussion isn't really appropriate for a PR, since it's really a feature request. As such it deserves a bit of work finding out why it's that way to begin with. All of is covered in the problem-reports document already mentioned in this thread: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/ <mike
