Have you ever used AMANDA, the backup software?

One caveat listed in their documentation is the problem of
restarting inetd. They claim that restarting inetd (or a kill -HUP)
will cause the socket to hang, and become unusable.

I have seen this problem with amanda, but *only* with amanda. All
other inetd clients behave in a more 'sociable' manner.

Is there something special that a inetd client needs to do to ensure
that they properly release the socket when inetd is killed or re-hupped?

Here's the inetd.conf entry for amanda...

    amanda  dgram   udp     wait    backup  /usr/local/libexec/amandad      amandad
    
Thanks,

Joe
