Bug#434357: RFA: xinetd -- replacement for inetd with many enhancements
Hi! What's the status on the adoption of xinetd? Magnus, Franz, did you make any progress? I'm not interested in adopting it myself, but would be willing to do an NMU for the inet-superserver bug (and maybe the typo ones too). Could you all let me know whether such an NMU would be ok or that a new version is right around the corner? I could sponsor packages for the new maintainer(s) of xinetd if required, let me know.

I was interested in xinetd too, but I forgot to check this spot before diving in. Please consider starting from the attached Debian diff, which does the following: * Use dpatch to organise patches. * Get rid of config.{guess,sub} from Debian diff by using files from autotools-dev (see 01_autotools-dev.dpatch). Thomas, what does the remaining diff in 01_debian-patch.dpatch (touching service.c) do? -- Magnus Holmgren[EMAIL PROTECTED] xinetd_2.3.14-2.diff.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data pgp4oBOh6OofG.pgp Description: PGP signature

Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am looking for someone to adopt the xinetd package. I can't find time to fix the open bugs, upstream is not really active anymore (no new version since Oct. 2005), and I do not use the software as much as I used to. Please feel free to ping me (keep me Cc:-ed), then adopt the package. No time for sponsoring, sorry. Thomas Seyrat The package description is: xinetd has access control mechanisms, extensive logging capabilities, the ability to make services available based on time, and can place limits on the number of servers that can be started, among other things. . It has the ability to redirect TCP streams to a remote host and port. This is useful for those of that use ip masquerading, or NAT, and want to be able to reach your internal hosts. . It also has the ability to bind specific services to specific interfaces. This is useful when you want to make services available for your internal network, but not the rest of the world. Or to have a different service running on the same port, but different interfaces. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
