    While on the topic of inetd and deviating from the other BSDs, I noticed
    when playing with pf that OpenBSD has the ability to bind services to
    specific interfaces in the inetd.conf file. Is there any interest in
    bringing this capability across to the FreeBSD inetd?

    I noticed the OpenBSD PR database suggests this came from NetBSD:

    http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?numbers=175&full=yes

    Though I haven't delved into this further. Is anyone else interested in
    seeing this imported? If no one else takes up the challenge I might have
    a look in a couple of weeks time, although at the moment I'm suffering
    from ENOTIME.

    Cheers
    Antony
