If your gnatsd will be started by xinetd (the "extended internet daemon"), create a file /etc/xinetd.d/support with the following lines (see Installing the daemon (Keeping Track)):
| service support { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = gnats server = /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd server_args = gnatsd } |
or add theses lines to your xinetd.conf file, whatever is appropriate. The equal signs seem to need spaces around them with some versions of xinetd.
You need to add
support 1529/tcp # GNATS
to /etc/services (it may be necessary to use tabulator
characters to separate the fields), and to tell xinetd to reread its
configuration (kill -HUP pid-of-xinetd).
