The original idea was to allow other programs to be used instead of the
default inetd, by tweaking /etc/rc.conf appropriately.  For instance,
one could say:

	inetd_enable="YES"
	inetd_program="/usr/local/sbin/xinetd"
	inetd_flags="-reuse"

and change his internet-superserver program to something else.

I am not sure if this is something that a lot of people would consider
a desired feature, but I was trying to see if it can be done (see the
request that started this thread).
