well, I've already been using it for over 10 years, I never had serious problems with it, and has all I need. So why should I now switch to xinetd ?
The answer to this 'why' can be found here: http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html#why
Wouldn't it make more sense to let "inetd" be an virtual package which can be configured by some useflag to get either classic inetd or xinet in, maybe xinet as default ?
inetd is way too old. I tried googling for it, and I couldn't even find source downloads for it. It's like wanting to use in.telnetd and telnet instead of ssh because the former has always served well. However, if you can find the sources to it, you can always compile and use it, can't you? -- Bruno Lustosa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
