Package: netbase
Version: 4.21
Severity: minor

Manual page reads:

       --remove ENTRY
              Remove an entry from /etc/inetd.conf . You  can  use  a  regular
              expression to remove the entry.

The "use regular expression" is misleading, because it will not remove
entry matching RE. The ENTRY is matched agains the service name, not
the full line. Please clarify it to read something like:

       --remove ENTRY
              Remove an entry from /etc/inetd.conf . You  can  use  a  regular
              expression to remove the entry. The regular expression
              must match at the beginning of line. Note, that
              mere '--remove bozohttpd' will not remove the inetd
              line, but the regexp must be given as '--remove
              www.*bozohttpd' or by using service name alone; '--remove www'.
