>Description:
I'm guessing since inetd switched to getaddrinfo() its possible to do the following in inetd.conf

10.99.0.10:8080 stream  tcp     nowait  _httpd  /usr/libexec/httpd      httpd -v /var/vroot /var/www

Or without the [ipv4:]. To sum it up you aren't restricted to service names from /etc/services.
>How-To-Repeat:
man inetd.conf
>Fix:
Index: inetd.8
