I have the same issue. Actually mine NEVER listens to ipv4! I have ipv6 removed from the sysctl.conf, (not blacklisted the modules yet as I need to reboot) but inetd.conf loads only on ipv6 addresses:
netstat -anvp |grep 5666 tcp6 0 0 :::5666 :::* LISTEN 18271/inetutils-ine r...@annie:/etc/munin/plugins# tail -1 /etc/inetd.conf nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg -i This is so wrong in many ways :( So wrong that I really consider never to use Ubuntu again. -- inetd fails to listen on IPv4 addresses https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
