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

[Neil Wilson]

** Description changed:

  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
- }                     
+  type		= UNLISTED
+  socket_type	= stream
+  protocol	= tcp
+  user		= nobody
+  wait		= no
+  port		= 50000
+  redirect	= 10.245.134.12 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.
