Let me add my own question:

Is it possibe to set a number of nowait connections to unlimited value?

Briefly looking to inetd.c I haven't found such ways.

The trivial patch (see attachment) should allow this behaviour if you
pass non-positive value to nowait, i.e. "nowait:0" (sorry for huge
patch, it's because line shifting). Of course, it's always better to
set this value just to big enough, but to allow some freedom for
sysadmins... ;-)
