https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211579 --- Comment #3 from Maxim Konovalov <maxim@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Sevan Janiyan from comment #2) In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D83482 I see n= othing about inetd(8). This feature was committed 15 years ago and since than nobody complained.= =20=20 There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular featu= re 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=20 But unix socket is a file. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
