Sorry for the delay in responding -- I'm on travel right now.  I'm more
interested in (2) right now as it maintains compatibility inetd on other
platforms, as you suggest.  If you build a set of utility routines that
can support both a command line tool and a libdialog-based config tool
(such as sysinstall), I think this would be great to include in the base
system, as it would make it far easier for both new users and experienced
users to understand the current configuration, and manage changes.
