	Guess what I just found out the hard way?  If you have any blank
lines in /etc/inetd.conf, then inetd silently refuses to start up.
In fact, it returns a "success" exit code (0) and then dies.

	I hope this information helps somebody.  I just pulled my hair out
over it.

	This was RISC ULTRIX 4.0 on a DECserver 5400.
