For that matter, I think one can make the strong argument that inetd is
not really necessary anymore. I think it has persisted so long because
it was a way to use TCP wrappers for apps which don't support them. With
the advent of better firewalls and more apps which link against libwrap,
this becomes less and less necessary.
