[bug-inetutils] nowait.%d is not supported?

[Maurizio Marini]

Hi there

i have plesk 8.4 installed on a debian etch

i have to raise number of connections per minute otherwise mailman cause:
Jul 18 12:26:19 ns1 inetd[21653]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping), service 
terminated

i have installed inetutils that provide:
inetd superserver

using man inted i see:
 wait/nowait[.massimo]

but reading the source i see:

      if (strcmp (argv[INETD_WAIT], "wait") == 0)
        sep->se_wait = 1;
      else if (strcmp (argv[INETD_WAIT], "nowait") == 0)
        sep->se_wait = 0;
      else
        {
          syslog (LOG_WARNING, "%s:%lu: bad wait type",
                  file, (unsigned long) *line);
        }


so, a .max is not supported and when i try to configure them into inetd.conf, 
in syslog i see:
Jul 18 13:20:39 ns1 inetd[29568]: /etc/inetd.conf:47: bad wait type

what i missed?
