inetd(8): continue or exit on error?
There are infelicities in /usr/src/usr.sbin/inetd/parse.c and I will
send a PR with patches attached.
The question is what to do in case of a config file not found (this is
the initial problem: the realpath() return status is not tested and a
structure is inconditionnally added to a linked list with an unreachable
config file).
It seems to me, since these are services, that the failure to load a
config is critical enough (since the server may be then servicing what
was not intended to be serviced; the reverse is less problematic)
to exit at least on this error.
What do others think?
