Description

The doc/bitlbee.xinetd file says, in part:

## This file assumes you have ircd somewhere in your /etc/services, if things
## don't work, check that file first.
service ircd
{
...
        ## xinetd is fucking retarded, what's the use of this port flag if
        ## it HAS to be the same as in /etc/services ?
        # port          = 6667
}

The purpose of that flag is to specify the port when the service is unlisted; it is not in fact necessary for the service to be in /etc/services, but you also need to specify the service "type", as in the example below.

This is my xinetd file for bitlbee. You're welcome to use it.

service bitlbee
{
        disable         = no
        type            = UNLISTED
        #bind            = 127.0.0.1
        port            = 6667
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = daemon
        server          = /usr/sbin/bitlbee
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

Ahhh, so the type entry should fix the whole problem? That's great. Thanks for the info, I'll update the xinetd file soon! :-)
