While one way to fix this might be to just remove the "|
netcat-traditional", i hope you won't fix it that way, since i don't
actually want to run inetd in this instance (i want to provide this for
non-privileged users to invoke at will, but not to run as a system service).
Thanks for maintaining this package,
