Ensuring inetd is started before any RPC services

Hi,

I have on many occasions run into the situation where the RPC based 
services have occupied the well-known ports for other non-RPC based 
services. Last week rpc.lockd on one of my systems got hold of TCP 
port 995, leaving inetd unable to start any pop3s services.

The easy cure is to add this line

# BEFORE: rpcbind

to /etc/rc.d/inetd.

You might want to consider fixing /etc/rc.d/inetd prior to the release 
of 6.2.
