tcpd with xinetd



Hello,

a few years ago i patches tcpd to cooperate with xinetd; the patch is on
ftp://ftp.tuke.sk/pub/unix/security/tcpd_xinetd.patch

The problem is xinetd doesn't allow to define argv[0] thus tcpd would call
itself; this patch increases argv if argv[0] eauqls to "tcpd", "in.tcpd"
or "in.frontd" (defined in Makefile).

This allows to join advantages of xinetd and tcpd; better checks etc.
I'd like to make patch to xinetd which would join it more close - xinetd
could call hosts_access() from libwrap; I've heard some FreeBSD developers
are doing that. 

Could anyone comment this ? OR probably make new xinetd package with this
patch included ?
