[gentoo-user] Emerging xinetd: big changes to config file

[Kevin O'Gorman]

The latest xinetd that I just emerged resulted in a large change to
/etc/xinetd.conf.  Not unusual, I suppose, but frankly it scares me a
bit.  I don't really understand the purpose of the changes and I'm
not sure of the consequences.

My solution was to back up the old version, and then install the
updated version (with etc-update).  However, I'm still nervous
about what will happen on the next reboot.  I do have to do that
from time to time.

I could figure this out, granted enough spare moments, but I'm
hoping there's someone out there who knows what's going on
just off the top of their head.

Is this update actually likely to change the behavior in any
ominous way?
