Description montjoie 2009-06-08 07:22:34 UTC

Enhancement of installation of sys-apps/xinetd with a minimal installation (no chargen, no daytime etc..)
A USEflag minimal (or no_default_apps) ?


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
ls /etc/xinetd.d/
chargen-stream  daytime-stream  discard-stream  echo-stream  tcpmux-server  time-dgram
chargen-dgram  daytime-dgram   discard-dgram   echo-dgram    time-stream


Expected Results:  
ls /etc/xinetd.d/
(nothing)

The services are NOT turned on by default.
# egrep -L 'disable.*NO' /etc/xinetd.d/*
(nothing)

So why install them ?
Do you know anyone who use chargen, discard echo etc... ?

Why do not do a USE flag for them ? (for people who want/dont want useless services)
