I can't release xinetd package now because patched to support ioctl(fd,
FIONREAD, ...) on pipes cygwin1.dll required to run xinetd. I sent the patch
to cygwin-developers already. When the patch will be included into a net
release, I will release xinetd, chkconfig and initscripts packages. BTW, my
/etc/inittab is

networking)
