[ale]simple inetd daemon

[Chris Fowler]

I need to write a simple inetd daemon that will manage only rshd and telnetd.  I know a
bit of how it works.  I need to know how 1 daemon can listen to multiple sockets.  

Idea on telnet.

listen on port.
accept call
fork
setsid
setuid, setgid (to root)
dup the socket to 0 1 2
exec /bin/telnetd

I guess I could look at the basic inetd.c code but I would like to write from scratch.
What is the tcp wait and no wait options?

thanks,
Chris
