Forwarding bug reported in debian
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461061

Having something like :
defaults
{

bind = 157.159.110.88

}
works whereas :
defaults
{

bind=157.159.110.88

}
won't, in /etc/xinetd.conf

That's a bit stupid as it gets reposted in /var/log/syslog, but xinetd starts anyway.

So either it's a mistake, and IMHO xinetd shouldn't start with a buggy conf file, or otherwise, a less strict syntax is supported, which leads to easier configuration...

Hope this helps,

Best regards.
