Bug#434357: RFA: xinetd -- replacement for inetd with many enhancements



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.
