Documentation for mini-inetd Mini-inetd is a simple, fork-style TCP server. This is already implemented better, faster and more secure in the normal inetd or xinetd. However, adding your small service to the system's inetd/xinetd usually requires root privilges. mini-inetd does not. If you can convince your system administrator to add your program to the normal inetd/xinetd then do that - mini-inet is a last resort. Features: TCP (both IPv4 and IPv6) Limit on number of children Works with diet-libc mini-inetd is public domain.
