is especially useful for TCP servers which must specify the receive
socket buffer size before the connection is made so that the connection's
window scale factor can be properly advertised.
Example /etc/inetd.conf configuration line:
shell stream tcp,rcvbuf=1m nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd
That line will cause the rshd to advertise a 1 megabyte window, which could
improve the performance of an rcp in some situations.
as part of inetd. uses /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} as tcpd does, etc. it
is basically exactly like tcpd except that you don't need to change
the server to /usr/local/sbin/tcpd.
XXX should document better somewhere
Allow for max # of invocations to be specified; appended to ``wait''
field: wait/nowait[.max]
Allow for RPC specifications in numeric format.
Inetd now stores its pid in `/var/run/inetd.pid'.
Support for AF_UNIX family.
