[ ATTN: xinetd mantainer ] Default xinetd init conf correction

Hello,

This is just a remainder, I sent this before to the list, but might
have gone unnoticed.
Please consider correcting the default xinetd config file. 
I checked a src version from
http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/xinetd/xinetd-2.3.14-1-src.tar.bz2
today, and it includes a wrong path to source the functions in 
/etc/rc.d/init.d that affects managing the program through calls like
start/stop/reload/status/... e.g:

dawud@win7 ~
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd status
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd: line 22: /etc/init.d/functions: No such
file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd: line 136: status: command not found

This simple patch solves it:

$ diff -u xinetd-2.3.14/contrib/xinetd.orig
xinetd-2.3.14/contrib/xinetd
--- xinetd-2.3.14/contrib/xinetd.orig   2010-04-05 21:33:00.000000000

+++ xinetd-2.3.14/contrib/xinetd        2010-04-05 21:33:17.000000000

Thanks for the reminder. The problem was, I had a symlink /etc/init.d ->
/etc/rc.d/init.d in my installation (similar to many linuxes) so I
didn't notice the problem.

It'll be fixed in the next release, but that might be a couple of weeks.

That's because the patch is malformed and doesn't apply directly (but
it's perfectly understandable to us humans).

Obviously it has been a number of months rather than just a few weeks,
but I haven't had a good reason (e.g. more than fixing this minor issue)
to update xinetd since then.  I hope to get to it soon.

For now, just edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd manually.

can you tell me which line to edit and to what.

Because as per my umderstanding I need to change 

. /etc/init.d/functions  to    . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

But the no function file is present at that location either.

to use the sysvinit-style startup scripts (like
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd), you need to install the 'initscripts;
pacakage.  You may ALSO need to install the sysvinit package, and
install the 'init' service it provides by running the init-config script
as Adminstrator.

These packages are not explicitly listed as requirements and installed
automatically, because they really aren't necessary for the Cygwin
xinetd.  You can install, control, and use xinetd all by itself, without
ever using the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd script, simply by installing
xinetd itself as a standalone service (rather than relying on init to do
it for you).  Then, you use
  cygrunsrv -S xinetd
to start it, and
  cygrunsrv -E xinetd
to stop it.
