Not much to say -- it works fine for me.  The environment variables
are quite nice.  (It sets TCPREMOTEIP, TCPREMOTEHOST, TCPREMOTEPORT,
and TCPREMOTEINFO to the remote ip, remote hostname returned by
a reverse lookup on the ip, the remote port, and the remote ident
info.)  If you want tcp-wrappers type functionality, you'll need
to run it with tcpcontrol, also by djb.  I use it to start qmail-smtpd
and qpopper.
