The problem exists since version 2.3.8 and still not fixed in xinetd-20021209. --- --- Cite from Steve Grubb: --- Here\'s a link to the e-mail that I posted to the group when I discovered the cause of the leaked descriptors: <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103767881425253&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103767881425253&amp;w=2</a> And here\'s a link to an e-mail where someone else explained what he discovered about the descriptors being mixed up: <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893604709367&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893604709367&amp;w=2</a> And here\'s a test script he supplied: <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893602009155&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893602009155&amp;w=2</a> --- 4654 1 ldv 2002-12-29 23:50:04 +0300 It also leaks descriptors of unclosed configuration files. 8019 2 ldv 2002-12-29 23:50:04 +0300 It also leaks descriptors of unclosed configuration files. 4655 3 ldv 2002-12-30 18:15:58 +0300 xinetd-2.3.9-alt5.20021209 no longer leaks config files. 8020 4 ldv 2002-12-30 18:15:58 +0300 xinetd-2.3.9-alt5.20021209 no longer leaks config files. 4656 5 ldv 2002-12-31 19:53:19 +0300 Fixed in xinetd-2.3.9-alt6.20021209 (at least, passes my test). 8021 6 ldv 2002-12-31 19:53:19 +0300 Fixed in xinetd-2.3.9-alt6.20021209 (at least, passes my test). 4657 7 ldv 2003-01-13 20:54:51 +0300 merged into xinetd-2.3.10 8022 8 ldv 2003-01-13 20:54:51 +0300 merged into xinetd-2.3.10
