why bootpd running, though wrapped up in inetd superserver ?

Hi,

I'm using bootpd for booting-up another diskless PC.

In inetd.conf, I have enabled the bootps line, but to
my surprise, bootpd keeps running continuously after
being called once. I thought wrapping the daemon up in
the inetd superserver would prevent this.

I have tried already the bootpd-flags "-t 5" and "-i" to no avail.

Any idea what's wrong here, or am I myself making a mistake here ?

Thanks,
Rob.
