Well, as I've been saying (but not yet on the list), I'm usually lucky to
get 5 hits a day. So it isn't much of a concern running it via inetd, and
I'd rather have it up only when the rare occasion of a hit happens :)

Anyway, as of now I can't figure out why it's giving a network read error
with lynx. It starts the daemon and everything...I've checked the logs,
and there's nothing there. No errors...very strange.

Thanks for the help :)
