Ahem.. Let's say I have two services, foo and bar, with food and bard. I want to wrap food, but *NOT* bard and they are both in /etc/inetd.conf. How do you propose to solve this with the internal wrapping (which is a good idea, IMO as it eliminates an exec())? > aaron --- John Baldwin <jobal...@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
