Firing up sshd from inetd is a bad idea, as sshd does non-trivial key generation work on startup. It really wants to start up once, then fork for each incoming connection. Or you can do what we've done on some of our machines, and turn off inetd, leaving *only* sshd running. Who needs legacy protocols like telnet and ftp when you've got sshd? (Tongue partly in cheek here; but only partly. This really does work well in some environments.) Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
