Personally, I'd prefer it if zero implied an unlimited number of
invokations per service per minute.  However, the special case isn't
really necessary, since you can simply specify some large number (and
then prepare to have your box dragged under). :-)

Ciao,

Yes. Fine, too.

Heh. That counts for every piece of software where you can set
"unlimited"

 PS: Did you test the patch you sent? :-)

Yes.

root:~ $ netstat -a | grep localhost.telnet | wc -l
 864

(I wasn't able to stress the system more :)

However, as I just saw, the -R -1 does not work (I tested it with
-DTOOMANY=-1). So -R 0 for unlimited is better (because of strtol).
