>Release:        -current supped Feb 16 early AM
>Environment:
	Any (I use /sparc and /sun3)
>Description:
	inetd, while very useful, does not support running different
	sets of services on different addresses.  In my application, a
	machine has a "secure" interface and an "insecure" interface.
	I want to run a couple of services (eg, identd) on all
	interfaces and a few more on just the "secure" interface.
	Rather than giving up on inetd, I added a command-line option
	specifying what host portion to use when binding sockets.  (I
	could have changed the inetd.conf format, which would perhaps
	have been preferable but would have been a good deal more work
	and also would have difficult to make backward-compatible.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	N/A
>Fix:
	I thought you'd never ask. :-)
