Package: root-system-xrootd
Version: 5.18.00-2.3~lenny1

The init.d script sets enable_xrootd:
        enable_xrootd=`echo $ENABLE_XROOTD | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
but then checks enable_rootd instead:
        case $enable_rootd:$enable_olbd in

I believe the latter was intended to read
        case $enable_xrootd:$enable_olbd in

HOWEVER, note that the current defaults (/etc/default/root-system-rootd,
/etc/default/root-system-xrootd) are for both rootd and xrootd to be
started. These two daemons use the same port (rootd) in the default
configuration, so at most one of them can be running at any given time.
Fixing the bug I'm reporting will expose this problem, so I'd recommend
changing at least one of ENABLE_ROOTD and ENABLE_XROOTD to "no".

(Side comment: my personal preference as a security-conscious administrator 
would be to have them both turned off by default until I've had a chance to 
configure /etc/root/system.rootauthrc and/or iptables to my liking. But this
isn't the focus of the present bug report.)
