elegant
[from mathematical usage] adj. Combining simplicity, power, and a
certain ineffable grace of design. Higher praise than `clever',
`winning', or even cuspy.
The French aviator, adventurer, and author Antoine de
Saint-Exup'ery, probably best known for his classic children's book
"The Little Prince", was also an aircraft designer. He gave us
perhaps the best definition of engineering elegance when he said "A
designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing
left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

inetd is "ok". tcpserver is "good". If you don't like services being
disabled simply because they're busy, don't use inetd. If you want the
ability to control access to services by host, don't use inetd. If you
want the ability to limit the maximum concurrent connections to a
service, don't use inetd.
