This is 4.4 BSD's inetd ported to Mint and MintNet >= 0.55. This version
has several advantages over the old one.

1) supports dynamic TCP services as per RFC 1078.
2) can run rpc services on demand (ie they don't have to stay in memory
   all the time). rpc.rstad from rpc-02 supports this (sample entry in
   inetd.conf) and I have patches to make mountd and nfsd from nfs-042
   loadable on demand.
   I have changed inetd so that if an rpc service's name occures both in
   /etc/rpc and /etc/services (as for nfsd) then the rpc service is bound
   to the port found in /etc/sercices. This makes a "dynamic" nfs server
   possible (which must listen on UDP port 2049).
   You can revert the changes by undefining RPC_FIXEDPORT in the Makefile.

The format of the entries for rpc and tcpmux services is described in the
sample inetd.conf and in the manpage.

Installation:
-------------

Put inetd it into /usr/etc and run it from rc.local or mint.cnf, but
AFTER syslogd and portmap. You must run portmap if you are going to
use "dynamic" rpc services!

Put inetd.conf into /etc/ and edit it to suit your taste.

Notes:
------

You will need syslogd from the init 1.1 package and - if you wan't to run
dynamic rpc services - portmap from rpc-02 to run inetd.
You will need my portlib to compile inetd.
Compiled with gcc 2.4.5 and loaded MintLibs PL 44, SocketLib 0.55
and PortLib PL 8.
