When you succeed please write about it - I'd love to read about it!
I was interested in writing a deamon in the past but didn't have
time for it and a nice tutorial would probably help a lot.
I should mention that the easiest way to write a daemon is to use
inetd/xinetd (or launchd, SMF, etc. as appropriate for OS); you then
only need to deal with stdin/stdout, and you generally get tcp-
wrappers for free instead of having to find/make libwrap bindings.
(Also, if you write yourself a nice daemon library, someone will
probably ask for it to be ported to create Windows services. Which
gets a big "damfino" from me, at least.)
