xinetd 2.3.15.4

Internet services daemon

xinetd, a more secure replacement for inetd, listens for incoming requests over a network and launches the appropriate service for that request. Requests are made using port numbers as identifiers and xinetd usually launches another daemon to handle the request. It can be used to start services with both privileged and non-privileged port numbers.
