Hey Martin,

I recently discovered that xinetd.conf (or xinetd.d) allows to add 
services which are not listed in /etc/services by adding:

	type            = UNLISTED

This means that I don't have to add the distcc port to /etc/services. 
If Red Hat releases an update of their setup package the /etc/services is 
replaced by their default one and distcc wouldn't work anymore from 
xinetd.

So this is certainly something I'm going to add, but I wonder whether you 
rather have the package still adding the distcc port to /etc/services 
(eg. so that it shows up nicely in netstat -at) or leave that up to the 
distribution ?

PS You might want to add the example distcc.xinetd to README.packaging for 
others.

Kind regards,
