Most of 2.1 "inetd Services" checks fail even if inetd is not installed

[oke-py]

Problem

2.1.1 - 2.1.9 fail even if inetd is not installed.

Now

./linux-bench | grep -e '^2.1' -e '] 2.1'
[INFO] 2.1 inetd Services

2.1.8.a grep: /etc/inetd.*: No such file or directory
2.1.8.b grep: /etc/xinetd.*: No such file or directory
2.1.9.a grep: /etc/inetd.*: No such file or directory
2.1.9.b grep: /etc/xinetd.*: No such file or directory

Want

All 2.1 checks should pass when there isn't inetd/xinetd file or directory.

Resolution

How about checking the existence of file or directory. The sample of 2.1.1.a is as below.

# before
grep -R "^chargen" /etc/inetd.*

# after
[ -e /etc/inetd.* ] && grep -R "^chargen" /etc/inetd.*

Hey thank you for the issue report and the suggestion, I think it will be easier to use -s flag in grep command so if file not exist it will return nothing instead of "No such file or directory" message,
I think this Yaml could be refreshed and update more tests but it will take much more time so for now we will fix this issue and later on will approve the tests. (For example unite 2.1.1.a and 2.1.1.b with using the regex flag)
