+# Requirements for xinetd/reconf-inetd fragments
+
+According to xinetd.conf(5), xinetd fragments must have the following fields:
+
+  socket_type       (mandatory)
+  wait              (mandatory)
+  user              (non-internal services only)
+  server            (non-internal services only)
+  protocol          (RPC and unlisted services only)
+  port              (unlisted non-RPC services only)
+
+If the protocol field is omitted and the service is listed, reconf-inetd will
+assume the protocol of the first matching entry from /etc/services. That will
+be tcp or udp, which currently implies IPv4, so if the intention is IPv6, then
+tcp6 or udp6 should be explicitly specified in the protocol field.
