or create a startup item for xinetd, it seems to me I remember having toxinetd is started by /System/Library/StartupItems/IPServices/IPServices. As long as it has an active service it will load at boot. inetd loads as well, but I can't figure out why since it doesn't appear to be being used by the OS at all (good, xinetd is so much better). Either the maintainer could stick a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ for the service or figure out how to daemonize the service and run it with a startup bundle in /Library/StartupItems.
do this to test proftpd with xinetd.

I'm curious, perhaps Fink could standardize a location in the /sw/etc directory, perhaps /sw/etc/xinetd.d and then just add a line to /etc/xinetd.conf that says IncludeDir /sw/etc/xinetd.d? This would allow package maintainers to easily add configuration files for xinetd, yet keep it fairly separate from the rest of the filesystem. The only modification to distribution files would be in /etc/xinetd.conf, which I don't expect Apple to modify directly (they would instead modify the individual service configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d). Thoughts?
