This is munetd a version of inetd with rpc capabilities. It has incoorporated (by myself) Rick Sladkeys latest signal patches. The main difference is that I have included support for host authentication. It actually uses the tcpd package for this. However do not be afraid. It will work exactly the same way as the standard /etc/inetd and infact reads /etc/inetd.conf as is. If however you create the auxillary files /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny then access of specific services may be setup to specific domains or machines, and logging of all failed/allowed requests are logged to syslog (read the manpages for setup of hosts.allow and hosts.deny). It also conforms to RFC931 (if a site is running it) Use the precompiled munetd binary instead of /etc/inetd (you may replace it - but make a backup of the original inetd please). Recompile if you want it to log to a different log facility or want to remove RFC931 logging. I would be grateful to hear of any bugs... Mitch P.S. If you need help or wanna report bugs, email: mitchum.dsouza@mrc-apu.cam.ac.uk ***Note: you do not need to add the tcpd binary into /etc/inetd.conf.****
