This seems like security to me -- the binding issue is especially relevant
to firewall hosts (multi-homed).

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

I'd like to add some functionality to inetd.  The two features
needed are:

* binding selected services to a particular interface
* chroot'ing before exec'ing the service

I've implemented these features as a port that modifies the
stock inetd source:
 
  http://www.freebsd.org/~nectar/ports/ninetd.shar
  http://www.freebsd.org/~nectar/ports/ninetd.tar.gz

(the modified inetd gets installed in /usr/local/sbin, 
and gets its config from /usr/local/etc/inetd.conf, so
it shouldn't be too intrusive)

I also came across a patch that implements the binding
in a different manner: see PR bin/2387.

I'd like comments.
