This is pretty interesting though...even though inetd has been coded like 
this, is there any way for us to prevent this?

I know a viable solution right now is to drop inetd and installed 
xinetd..but what do you guyz think would be a viable solution to this problem?

BTW, this also kills inetd on OpenBSD 2.8-current[prolly all below 2.8 
branch]...(figures...), but I am sure, when I ask this on this tomorrow on 
the list, 60% of the emails  I'll get back will tell me this is not enabled 
by default...well, ok, the hell that I care if ftp ain't enabled by 
default, I need it therefore I run it...*grin*
