Package: pidentd, openbsd-inetd Severity: normal So, this is either an issue with pidentd (3.0.19.ds1-4) or with openbsd-inetd (0.20080125-2), or how they interact with each other. I'm not exactly sure which, hence you both have the bug :)
On a pretty fresh lenny: - no inetd running, - then: aptitude install pidentd | lux:~# aptitude install pidentd | Reading package lists...

Probably installing pidentd should cause inetd to start if it's not already running. weasel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
