[Bug 704435] [NEW] xinetd init script - reload terminates redirected services

[Neil Wilson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xinetd

If you are using the 'redirect' service of xinetd, the redirection forks
a separate copy of xinetd for each service.

e.g

service vnc-redirect
{
	type		= UNLISTED
	socket_type	= stream
	protocol	= tcp
	user		= nobody
	wait		= no
	port		= 50000
	redirect	= 109.107.34.14 5903
}                     

When you try and do a 'service xinetd reload' the current init script is
missing a reference to the pidfile on its reload line and does a
'killall' on all xinetd processes - incorrectly terminating anything
that uses an internal service like redirect.
