I am new to qmail and tcpserver. I installed tcpserver and was under the
impression that it was a superserver like inetd, only better. I conffigured
to to manage qmail, qmail pop3, telnet, and ftp.
The thing I noticed when checking my processes was that tcpserver had 2
processes for each of the services

for example it had the following for telnet.
supervise /var/lock/telnetd tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprules.d/telnetd.
tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprules.d/telnetd.cdb -u0 -g0 0 telnet in.teln

With inetd it only had inetd running, until the telnet port was hit, then it
would spawn the telnetd process.
I am curious if this is how its designed to work, or if I am doing something
wrong.
