rinetd redirects TCP connections from one IP address and port to another.
|
|
rinetd is a single-process server which handles any number of connections to
|
|
the address/port pairs specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf. Since rinetd
|
|
runs as a single process using nonblocking I/O, it is able to redirect a
|
|
large number of connections without a severe impact on the machine. This
|
|
makes it practical to run TCP services on machines inside an IP masquerading
|
|
firewall. rinetd does not redirect FTP, because FTP requires more than one
|
|
socket.
|
|
|
|
rinetd also supports basic allow/deny access control and logging.
