inetd is a super-server daemon on many Unix systems that manages Internet services such as ftp, telnet, pop3 and so on.

It manages connections for several services. When a connection is received by inetd, it determines which program the connection is destined for, spawns the particular process and delegates the socket to it (the program is invoked with the service socket as its standard input, output and error descriptors). Running inetd for servers that are not heavily used can reduce the overall system load, when compared to running each daemon individually in stand-alone mode.


See man page
Code:
man inetd
