Hello,

There seems to have a bug at inetd.c source file.

This pb regards connection rate control feature.

Line 2341 shall probably be :

  if ((cnt * 60) / (CHTSIZE * CHTGRAN) > sep->se_maxcpm) {
  ...

instead of 

  if (cnt * (CHTSIZE * CHTGRAN) / 60 > sep->se_maxcpm) {
    char pname[INET6_ADDRSTRLEN];

    getnameinfo((struct sockaddr *)&rss,
                ((struct sockaddr *)&rss)->sa_len,
		pname, sizeof(pname), NULL, 0,
		NI_NUMERICHOST|NI_WITHSCOPEID);
    r = -1;
    syslog(LOG_ERR,
	    "%s from %s exceeded counts/min (limit %d/min)",
	    sep->se_service, pname,
	    sep->se_maxcpm);
  }


as the connection rate is the number of connections ***DIVIDED*** by the
size of the measurement window.

As long as you don't change original CHTSIZE and CHTGRAN values (6 and
10), this bug has no effect.

This problem was remarked by Claus Assmann (ca at sendmail.org) and Jose
Marcio Martins da Cruz (Jose-Marcio.Martins at ensmp.fr).

You'll find attached to this message a patch to change source file.

Version information of the source file is : 

__FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.c,v 1.119 2003/02/23
16:54:19 dwmalone Exp $");

Best regards,

Jose-Marcio
