Modified Files:
        src/usr.sbin/inetd: inetd.8 inetd.c inetd.h parse.c parse_v2.c

Log Message:
Add an optional accept limit to stream/nowait services.

Old syntax:

           socket-type[,accept-max][:accept-filter]

New syntax adds the option:

     accept_max    Equivalent to accept-max in positional notation.

accept_max is a positive integer. inetd will stop accepting new
connections for a service, when the number of running and
waited for instances reaches that number. Further connection
attempts will be queued by the kernel and eventually time
out.

The limit acts in parallel to the wait maximum (default 40). If
you want more than 40 instances being spawned, you also need to
adjust the wait maximum to a higher value.
