Well, xinetd basically has tcpd built in - and you can specify times of day when things can be accessed, max number of processes to fork at a time, and so on. The downside is that most of the tools for installing things know the inetd format but not the xinetd format, so that's a bit of a downer, but the xinetd.conf format is pretty easy to learn.
Whether or not that constitutes major advantages is very much in the eye of the beholder...but I happen to like it.
Would xinetd allow me to set up a smtpd service on my router like tcpwrappers? a version with RELAYCLIENT for the internal net and a version without it for the external net? I've read the docs, but I can't seem to find any info about adding the same service "twice". Thanks, Jurriaan -- Linux is like a wigwam: no gates, no windows, and an apache inside.
