Hi, I'd like to use xinetd to forward some local ports via ssh (e.g. as explained here: https://debian-administration.org/article/487/SMTP_via_a_SSH_tunnel).
This patch provides the xinetd executables, I'll try my hand at writing a xinetd service next... Unless there is already an alternative to xinetd on GuixSD? cheers, Thomas
