Unfortunately common programs like tcpd do split the request over two packtes, so it's not such a good idea to use it. See http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=16086 - the patch I've included there, based on Hajimu UMEMOTO patch, seems to work OK, but it might be a good idea to deactivate the itimer once you've finished reading. Maybe someone should take the PR from des, who is no longer inetd's maintainer and give it to green who wrote the inetd's ident code? David.
