>Description:
Current install message is missing step to add "support" service and rebuild service database with services_mkdb (this took me some time to find out). 

Without such setup inetd(8) will fail to server GNAT's service 'support' on 1529/tcp port.




>How-To-Repeat:
On fresh system install pkgin (if not already installed):

which pkgin || \
 PKG_PATH="https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.|cut -f 1 -d_)/All" pkg_add pkgin

Install gnats and watch message:

pkgin install gnats

==== Message
$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.7 2005/08/27 22:24:02 recht Exp $

See http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/ for the official web page
and don't forget to run /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/mkdb default
as user gnats to create the default database.

Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf to activate GNATS:
    support stream tcp nowait gnats /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/gnatsd gnatsd

Add something like this into the crontab to process incoming bug reports:
    */5 * * * * /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -r

To accept PRs by mail you'll need some new mail aliases too, e.g.
        gnats-admin:    postmaster
        bugs:           "| /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -q"
        query-pr:       "| /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/mail-query"
====

Follow message and add to /etc/inetd.conf:

# gnats
support stream  tcp     nowait  gnats   /usr/pkg/libexec/gnats/gnatsd   gnatsd

Restart inetd with:

/etc/rc.d/inetd restart

/var/log/messages will contain error:

inetd[10072]: support/tcp: unknown service

>Fix:
I suggest to add to MESSAGE:

===
Add to /etc/services:
support         1529/tcp        # GNATS

Run services_mkdb to rebuild services database.
