Summary:                    inetd does not set argv[0]
Description: 
When inetd (1.01) calls a service handler it doesn't set argv[0], which
obviously makes e.g. busybox telnetd fail to work. Attaching a patch.

No. Its special for wrappers and documented:

     The server program arguments should be just as arguments normally
are,
     starting with argv[0], which is the name of the program.

See manuals for BSD inetd(8)
