Is there an easy way to imit the number of simultaneous connections that
inetd will pass to telnetd from a single machine? I am finding that it is
very easy to open up about 20+ login sessions (without even loggin in).
This starts using up a ton of memory and processor (esp when named has to
resolve them all).  Ideas?
