The inetd shipped with FreeBSD appears vulnerable to the inetd DoS
exploit posted on bugtraq.

inetd logs the following:

Feb 27 10:23:12 host inetd[5337]: ftp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated

System:

% uname -v
FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #1: Fri Feb  9 11:27:05 EST 2001
nicks@lorien.slartibartfast.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/LORIEN4

As a workaround, start inetd with the -C flag.
