[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] xinetd 2.3.8 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you of release '2.3.8' of 'xinetd' through
freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/xinetd/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release has complete protocol independence.  --with-inet6 is now
deprecated. Support for tcpmux, an  inetd.conf parser, and DNS
service registration via  Rendezvous have been added. There are more
parser  and configuration checking cleanups, fixups for IPv6,  and
fixes for redirected services.

Project description:
xinetd is a replacement for inetd, the internet services daemon.
Anybody can use it to start servers that don't require privileged
ports because xinetd does not require that the services in its
configuration file be listed in /etc/services. It can do access
control on all services based on the address of the remote host, time
of access, connection attempts, or process limits. Access control
works on all services, whether multi-threaded or single-threaded and
for both the TCP and UDP protocols. xinetd supports both internal
access control, and the use of the libwrap library. IPv6 with access
control is also supported. It can redirect service requests to other
machines, and has the standard built in services, including tcpmux.
