If for any reason you wish to put the same service on more then one
port you have to name it differently for every port, and then list that
name in /etc/inet.conf, specifying the path to the executable, etc.

I tried to put plain telnet on port 80 (as well as the original, 23),
and it did not work until I renamed it to, say, banana, and explained
in /etc/inetd.conf what banana is -- same as telnet.

	telnet stream .................... /usr/libexec/telnetd
	banana stream .................... /usr/libexec/telnetd

Is that a bug or a feature? Why can not inetd accept same service
for different ports? Or if that's a feature, why does not it complaint
somewhere?
