I have not been able to get apt-proxy to work via xinetd. It works fine
with inetd.
From the client side it hangs and timesout.
I can see in the auth.log that it is connecting.
There are funny things in syslog:
localhost xinetd[29274]: Activating service apt-proxy
localhost xinetd[29274]: Deactivating service apt-proxy due to excessive
incoming connections. Restarting in 10 seconds.
apt-proxy log shows strange problems:

I do not wish to run inetd. Is there a way to run apt-proxy as a stand
alone daemon? I could not figure that our either.
