Re: restricted ftp (binded to a private net only)

xinetd:
 <http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xinetd&searchon=names&version=stable&release=all>

  Release  Quality Package           (size)
  stable   100%    xinetd 2.2.1-8.1  (87.7k) 
    replacement for inetd with many enhancements

Such enhancements including, eg, ability to bind to a specific interface
on a machine.

And the xinetd.conf syntax is signicantly cleaner than traditional
inetd.conf (IMHO).
