Hm. This used to work a long time ago, but was never really tested since I started to maintain nbd-server, and I don't think it ever really worked, either. I guess I'll just have to stop pretending, and remove the mentioning of port 0 and the inetd support from the documentation for the next release. It's not all that useful anyway. In any case, since sarge has been released, the version that is in sarge can nolonger be updated; you'll have to use nbd-server in daemon mode. -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond
