As an example, I serve git-daemon through xinetd on my server, and I just had to write this: $ cat /etc/xinetd.d/git-daemon # description: The git server offers access to git repositories service git { disable = no type = UNLISTED port = 9418 socket_type = stream wait = no user = nobody server = /usr/bin/git-daemon flags = IPv6 server_args = --inetd --export-all --base-path=/git/public --user-path=public_git log_on_failure += USERID } Arguably the packager could document this or a way to enable git-daemon through the usual inetd servers, but that's it IMNSHO.
