Symptoms:
	PHNE_20747:

	* JAGad03290 / SR8606134150:
	  inetd is not working properly.

	* JAGaa27205 / SR5003424598:
	  "swait" option was not documented in "inetd.conf.4"
	  manpage.

	* JAGaa27237 / SR5003426296:
	  When a user changes the field "wait" to "swait" or
	  vice-versa in the configuration file "/etc/inetd.conf",
	  and runs "inetd -c" to reflect the above change, the
	  same is not getting reflected.

	* JAGaa27203 / SR5003426304:
	  inetd was logging incorrect source address for the
	  services in "swait" state.

	PHNE_16832:

	* rcp client error rcmd: connect: Connection timeout

	PHNE_15986:

	* Bad programming can cause inetd to loop out of control.

	* inetd hangs and blocks on incoming connections.

	* Issues with auditing and inetd processes after boot.

	PHNE_14087:

	* Defect may allow networking to be disabled.

Defect Description:
	PHNE_20747:

	* JAGad03290 / SR8606134150:
	  inetd is not working when a service in "swait" state is
	  not working properly and there is only one service
	  spawned by inetd before this service.

	Resolution:
	  inetd code has been modified to make inetd work properly.

	* JAGaa27205 / SR5003424598:
	  "swait" option was not documented in "inetd.conf.4"
	  manpage.

	Resolution:
	  "inetd.conf.4" manpage has been updated to contain this
	  information.

	* JAGaa27237 / SR5003426296:
	  With the command "inetd -c", inetd was not reconfiguring
	  its database for the field change from "wait" to
	  "swait" and vice versa in the file "/etc/inetd.conf".

	Resolution:
	  During the reconfiguration of the service table for inetd,
	  now necessary modification has been done to reflect the
	  change.

	* JAGaa27203 / SR5003426304:
	  For the services in "swait" state, inetd logs the source
	  address of the previous service. If this is the first
	  service spawned by inetd, it logs (0.0.0.0) instead.
	  This is because inetd was logging the source address
	  information without accepting the connection.

	Resolution:
	  inetd is now logging a different message for the services
	  in "swait" state.

	PHNE_16832:

	* inetd was not able to listen to more requests
	  during heavy traffic.

	PHNE_15986:

	* Bad programming can cause inetd to loop out of control.

	* inetd hangs and blocks on incoming connections.

	* Issues with auditing and inetd processes after boot.

	PHNE_14087:

	* Improperly coded routine causes unexpected result
	  in some circumstances.
