I realize that this is a bit out the opensolaris area, but, any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

I am using Solaris 8 (both Trusted Solaris 8 and vanila) to develop an LDAP 
server.  I have been using the inetd services to start a small "server driver" 
using inetd.conf options "stream tcp nowait" . When I serially execute 
repeating clients that connect to the server, everything works as expected 
except that there is an obvious 1 second delay between server startup's.  When 
truss'ing inetd, I can see that it is sleeping with an "alarm(1)". I verified 
that the time is not being spent in my server, by writing and testing with a 
super simple client/server pair.

My assumption is that this is some kind of DOS prevention throttle. But, there 
seems to be no way to configure this.  Can someone tell me definitively whether 
Solaris 8 inetd has such a throttle and if it is not changeable? 

This issue only occurs on Trusted (and vanila) Solaris 8.  When I run things on 
Solaris 10 there is no problem at all.  Unfortunately, I am tied to Trusted 
Solaris, and thus, with version 8.

Thanks for any help!
