https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211579 --- Comment #3 from Maxim Konovalov <maxim@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Sevan Janiyan from comment #2) In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=83482 I see nothing about inetd(8). This feature was committed 15 years ago and since than nobody complained. There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular feature in their scripts and removing it will break backward compatibility with no particular reason. Unix world utilities historically have a lot of overlapping functionality. So far it works more or less ok. Also > a utility that is intended to concatenate files But unix socket is a file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
