Bug#327847: exim4-base: documentation for running exim from inetd is wrong

[Diego Biurrun]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.52-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch


Hello!

The instructions in /usr/share/doc/README.Debian.xinetd contain a
mistake.

The line

  mail stream   tcp     nowait  Debian-exim     /usr/sbin/exim4 exim4 -bs

should read

  smtp stream   tcp     nowait  Debian-exim     /usr/sbin/exim4 exim4 -bs

so that the daemon does not get started from /etc/init.d/exim4 where
/etc/inetd.conf is grepped for "smtp" and not "mail".

Regards

Diego

 ==================================
 If you want to use plain inetd, you can use the following line:
-mail stream   tcp     nowait  Debian-exim     /usr/sbin/exim4 exim4 -bs
+smtp stream   tcp     nowait  Debian-exim     /usr/sbin/exim4 exim4 -bs
