Reading tinysshd(8), I see that it can also be started from
tcpserver(8) or BusyBox’ tcpsvd (which doesn’t seem to be
available in Debian yet.) Or, I suppose, socat(1)? Say:
# setsid -- socat TCP6-LISTEN:22,fork \
EXEC:"tinysshd -v /etc/tinyssh/sshkeydir" &
Contrary to running from Inetd, the use of the likes of socat(1)
and tcpserver(8) can readily be adapted for an init.d script
(or, rather, init-d-script(5) DAEMON wrapper), which in turn
allows the user to control the daemon with the usual service(8).
Examples (untested) of such a wrapper and a corresponding init.d
script are MIMEd.

You know, in almost twenty years of using GNU/Linux, I think
it’s the first time I’m requested /not/ to report bugs and
contribute patches. How times did change, indeed!
