The following reply was made to PR bin/12349; it has been noted by GNATS.

This is caused by the fact that the C library caches metainformation about the password files (e.g. whether or not to use NIS, whether or not it has access to the master password map, etc.) and there is currently no way of forcing it to clear its cache. This is really a libc bug, not an inetd bug. It is closely related to bin/10281.
