I was considering installing xinetd on my FreeBSD server, but reading
the man page for inetd, I see the traditional inetd offers all kinds of
rate limiting by service, ip, etc, that I was going to upgrade to xinetd
for.
Many people I've talked to claim xinetd is so superior in function, but
to me it appears that inetd will do pretty much everything that xinetd
will do now. Or, am I missing something?
