Privilege separation etc is nice, but have a look at xinetd source and
reconsider. I have tried to fix a DoS-like problem (a timing-related bug
that caused temporary disabling of services) in xinetd once but
eventually gave up. The code is IMHO unmaintainable and doesn't raise
much trust.

If a replacement is needed, I would rather look at openbsd-inetd.

JFSP> - Separate runlevels: 2 for multi, no net, 3 for multi no X, 4 for X, 4=5

Why? Display manager as a normal service that can be started and stopped
like other services is very natural. No need to confuse the users with
more runlevels since there's not much point in differentiating them
nowadays.
