ninetd - A logging, restrictable, flexible version alternative to inetd.

 Ninetd was originally written a long time ago by Dennis Ferguson[*] during
 the early phases of the CA*Net.  At that time, there were no alternatives to
 inetd. Tcp wrappers had not yet been released.  The first versions of ninetd
 included a flexible configuration, restriction lists and logging.  Ninetd has
 been in continuous use ever since, here at CNS.

 [*] Dennis's more well-known credits include xntpd, gated and
     Juniper Networks (jnx.com).
