This needs to be fixed as it probably causes problems with may
utilities. I had the problem with 2 different today : telnet and nttcp.
nttcp specifies in the man page :
INSTALLATION
To make most convenient use of this program, it can be installed on the
partner machine, so that inetd(8) can start it. To accomplish this, two files
have to be edited: /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.
The respective lines may look like this:
inetd.conf:
ttcp stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/etc/nttcp nttcp
This issue makes therefore a lot of documentation inaccurate.
Same problem in 10.10
