i wouldn't...i'd have to either pay the (small) cost of wrapping or pay the
(less small) tcpd exec and not use internal wrapping. it's "nice" to save
the exec, but intensely performance or latency sensitive daemons probably
shouldn't be starting out of inetd, they should be standalone and
preforked or threaded...
