It'd be nice to do it once and for all. Could you actually read my whole message and look at my suggestion, and comment on that? Or you write the complex code that other people aren't interested in writing to do all this tedious work. Personally, I can't see what else sysinstall should do that isn't really hard to write. Anyone who has a problem adding comments in front of inetd.conf lines, or removing them, probably wouldn't be helped by a CUI hack in libdialog either.
