Check out ftp://ftp.telebase.com/pub/security/xinetd.2.1.7-freebsd.4.tar.gz I'm using it on a FreeBSD box, as is Chuck. We use it here on a variety of platforms to which it was not originally ported by its author, Panos Tsirigotis. >> Is xinetd faster (suffering from less process start latency) >> than tcpd?

IMO, xinetd's somewhat simpler to use than the inetd/tcp-wrappers combination. ---- Brian Clapper .............................................. bmc@telebase.com http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ .............
