inetd is a different and useful method

As njcajun said, tcpwrappers only works for services *linked against libwrap*.


inetd is a different, yet very useful, method of limiting services. There are many services which are not used every day and those are excellent candidates for inetd. Too bad so many of these articles have to be so short and soundbite-ish, a nod to inetd would have been warranted here


Good intro to tcpd, though
