Description-en: gruesomely over-featured inetd replacement
rlinetd is designed to replace the BSD inetd. Feature-wise, it is a
proper superset of the BSD inetd, including rpc support and both udp
and tcp services. In addition, it supports a number of resource
limiting features, including full resource limits a la setrlimit(2),
renicing, chroot and limited per-service instances. To round out the
features stolen from xinetd, it also supports binding to individual
interfaces on request, and configurable logging.
