Description:  An extention on xinetd.

xinetd was originally written by panos@cs.colorado.edu.

What this has over the previous release of xinetd:
1) Ability to bind services to a specific interface.  Useful to have
a different service running on the same port numbers on different 
interfaces.  Also, make insecure protocols available only on 
"trusted" interfaces.
2) Ability to redirect incoming tcp connections to a remote machine
with (possibly) a different port number.  Kind of like a reverse
proxy.

The extra version number is because the COPYRIGHT file of the original 
xinted specifically lays out rules for version numbers.
