<description>This update for xinetd provides the following fixes:
- Specifying multiple log targets in the configuration caused a crash in xinetd, so make
sure this is not allowed and in case of misconfiguration handle it correctly.
(bsc#1054532)
- Fix a race condition that was causing xinetd not to be running after receiving a SIGHUP
and a call to bind() failing with error EADDRINUSE. The fix exposes a sysconfig variable
named XINETD_BIND_DELAY that can be used to delay calls to bind(). (bsc#972691)
- Fix an error that was causing a failure in xinetd when trying to fallback from IPv6 to
IPv4. (bsc#947475)
- Update the documentation about the maximum allowed size of server parameters. (bsc#943484)
