[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#609582: iscsitarget: init.d script should be able to start ietd with parameters

Package: iscsitarget
Version: 1.4.20.2-1
Severity: normal

The ietd daemon has several command-line switches that can be used. Some are
even security-related, for example ietd's ability to bind only to certain
address can only be specified on the command line. This is important in boxes
that are connected to a SAN and a public network on different interfaces, as
would be often the case with servers running an iSCSI target.

The init.d script makes use of start-stop-daemon but does not pass any parameters.
It would seem adequate to pick the parameters from /etc/default, like in many
other daemons.
