Git-commit: 712cf8673d6e57442f41636e44020f5e1839c7f8 Patch-Mainline: Upstream Author: Hans de Goede Subject: Fix -inetd not working with xserver >= 1.19 Signed-off-by: Michal Srb xserver 1.19's OsInit will create a pollfd, followed by checking if fd 2 / stderr is writable and if it is not, replacing fd 2 with /dev/null. Since we close stderr in inetd mode to avoid xserver messages being send to the client as vnc data, the pollfd becomes fd 2, only to be replaced by /dev/null since a pollfd is not writable. This commit fixes this by opening /dev/null directly after the close(2), avoiding that the pollfd becomes fd 2.
