    How to pass client address to child process of inetd?

    Hello,
    I 've been searching but found nothing. The question is: When I run a server by inetd, how can I pass the client IP address to it? Should I use some env variables or I have to do a mess with lsof and netstat?

    Can you explain more what you're trying to do? Why are you trying to make inetd pass a client address to a service it manages?

    inetd

    Let's assume we have a script that serves some info / files/ etc. It would log the client IP and the requested resource.
