Have you ever used AMANDA, the backup software?
One caveat listed in their documentation is the problem of
restarting inetd. They claim that restarting inetd (or a kill -HUP)
will cause the socket to hang, and become unusable.
I have seen this problem with amanda, but *only* with amanda. All
other inetd clients behave in a more 'sociable' manner.
Is there something special that a inetd client needs to do to ensure
that they properly release the socket when inetd is killed or re-hupped?
Here's the inetd.conf entry for amanda...
amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
Thanks,
Joe
