I was talking to someone on irc last night after I made my post about the
mountd exploit and they said they had a exploit that would kill inetd.
I did not get the stuff but I had him try it on 3 of my linux systems and
it did work..

Is there any compelling reason why inetd shouldn't have a
non-daemonise switch so that it can be run out of inittab for
systems which have that facility?
