In my neverending quest for the School Server, I am looking for a
'unix socket superserver', something akin to xinetd listening on
oldstyle unix sockets. Connecting to the right socket triggers the
superserver to spawn a (potentially memory-heavy, privileged) process
to handle the connection, with the superserver handling rate limiting,
etc.
xinetd doesn't seem to know how to do this at all. ucspi-unix and its
close cousin ucspi-ipc seem to cover the requirements but are not in
Fedora. Are there alternatives that I am overlooking?
thanks!
