You certainly *can* use inetd, but I don't recommend it for the
following reasons:

  1) Documentation on installing with inetd is scarce.
  2) The use of inetd is "unsupported".
  3) Daemontools and ucspi-tcp work better than inetd and syslog.
  4) If you install with inetd+syslog and decide to switch to
     daemontools+ucspi-tcp, you pretty have to reinstall. Building and
     installing daemontools+ucspi-tcp is *very* easy.
