# Can I do this?
thanks
Hey! Now you broke *my* configuration! ;-)
I have tabs, not spaces, after the protocols. Hence I want to change
  "^ *([0-9.]+:)?(pop3s?|imaps?) .*dovecot"
to
  "^ *([0-9.]+:)?(pop3s?|imaps?).*dovecot"
or
  "^ *([0-9.]+:)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[[:space:]].*dovecot"
or, since inetd (at least openbsd-inetd) allows IPv6 addresses (within 
[]) as well as hostnames and the * wildcard, even
  "^ 
*(([[:alnum:].-]+|\[[[:xdigit:]:]+]|*):)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[[:space:]].*dovecot"
or, somewhat relaxed,
  "^ *(([^][:]+|\[[^]]+]|\*):)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[[:space:]].*dovecot"
.

Ideally, I think dovecot shouldn't be started if there is any conflict 
between inetd.conf and dovecot.conf, regardless of which server runs 
from inetd (since dovecot would fail in that case).

I believe it can be done with:
for p in \
 `sed -r "s/^ *(([^:]+|\[[^]]+]|\*):)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[ \t].*/\3/;t;d" \
         /etc/inetd.conf`
  do
  for q in \
   `sed -r "s/^ *protocols[ \t]*=[ \t]*(([^\"]*)|\"(.*)\")/\2\3/;t;d" \
           /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf`
  do
    if [ $p = $q ]; then
      exit 0
    fi
  done
done
Regexes! You gotta love 'em!
