Wou, you've all certainly encouraged me to get rid of inetd!!! I'll do that
then... should I mind for other applications/services that use inetd
installed in my server before switching to ucsi-tcp or is it completely
"transparent" to them??
Thanks!

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.
