Thank you for the above piece of "code".

The man page for 'netstat' on my system [RH 6.1] does not mention the '-a'
option.  What does it do?

In my case, there are more inetd services listening than are specified in
'/etc/inetd.conf'.  Why/how does this happen?

What the hell is TAC News (port 98)?

Given a line of output like:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3306            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
563/mysqld

                    ^^^^^^^                 ^^^^^^^
                       ^                      ^
                     local                 foreign

I assume that the 'local' address is where inquiries are going, and that
the 'foreign' address is where the inquiries are coming from...

Why isn't the local address 127.0.0.1?

If you wanted a service to accept inquiries only from your LAN and not the
net at large, I assume you would change the 'foreign address' to, for
example, 192.168.0.x.  In services not covered by inetd, such as mysqld
above, where does one change the address specifications for that port?

Thank you.
