Xinetd is secure and powerful efficient replacement for the
old Internet services daemon named inetd and tcp_wrappers
(inetd does not provide effective resource management. It
will happily use up all your memory if you are running a
popular service. It is unreliable under high loads and will
cuts off service for 10 minutes if it receives too many
connections in 1 minute). This security tool can control
denial-of-access attacks by providing access control
mechanisms for all services based on the address of the
remote client that want to connect to the server as well as
the ability to make services available based on time of
access, extensive logging, and the ability to bind services
to specific interfaces.
