been patched so many times it was a bit of a mess. There are style,
code and man page cleanups. The following are the functional changes:
The RFC only permits the returning of 4 possible error
codes, make sure we only return these (PR 27636).
Use MAXLOGNAME to determine the longest usernames.
Add a -i flag, which returns the uid instead of the username
(this is from a PR 25787, which also contained alot of the
cleanups in this patch).

Add ability to run "inetd -R 0" to disable the default connection
per minute limit of 256 connections. Document this in man page.
Don't use maxchild as a boolean - instead check if it is greater
than zero.

from the inetd maintainer (des), I assume that shin has permission
and I'm just fixing his contribution up for him.
Okay, I couldn't resist, I made some extra changes:
* Replace ".Tn FreeBSD" with .Fx
* Make the illegal TCPMUX and IPSEC sections legal subsections
of the IMPLEMENTATION NOTES section.

provides a default username for fallback purposes if the user cannot be
looked up. That is very useful for the case where inetd auth is
running on a NAT box.

internal services in inetd.conf .
The inetd(8) manpage used to say that the official name of a service
_must_ be used, yet inetd itself was hardcoded to used a service alias for
the auth service, namely ident!
Rather than change inetd.conf and break existing configurations on next
upgrade, we now allow service aliases as well as official names. This
allows the software to work as expected and still support existing
configurations.
This should not breaking existing wrapped configurations either and the
inetd(8) manpage already states that it is the service name specified in
inetd.conf that is used for calls to hosts_access(3).

not specified wrapping is turned off so that inetd will behave exactly
as it used to before TCP Wrappers was imported.
Change etc/defaults/rc.conf so as to encourage wrapping on new systems.

1) Handle forking and non-forking internal services correctly.
Turn on wrapping for internal services because it works now.
2) Preserve server names for each service on HUP.
3) Honour hosts_options(5) severity option.
4) Add IMPLEMENTATION NOTES section to clarify TCP Wrappers
usage and limitations.
This change may cause previously allowed builtin services (e.g. daytime)
to be denied in existing configurations.
