-m option of rpc.yppasswdd. It is currently taken over by the -t
option. -m is used for a different purpose now.

For a tcp/nowait connection, inetd invokes accept(2) for
each pending connection; this call returns a file descriptor
associated with the new connection.
Twelve years ago, code was added to inetd to detect "failing
servers". The heuristic that identifies a failing server is
one that has been invoked a large number of times over some
specified interval (e.g., more than 128 ftp services started
in 60 seconds may flag the ftp service as "failing"). These
compile-time constants vary depending on vendor.
The problem is that, when a failing server is detected, the
code neglects to close the file descriptor returned by the
accept(2).
Security-Implications:
I suppose someone with ample free time could orchestrate an
attack buy pummeling services until the inetd process finally
runs out of file descriptors thus rendering inetd useless to
any new connections that require a new descriptor.

run at the same time.
Notes:
The fileupdate function is still somewhat broken. Instead of
returning a failure code if it can't modify the original file it
renames the .new file and continues as though nothing is wrong.
This will cause the lock on the original file to be lost and could
lead to a similar race condition. I left that portion of the code
alone since I feel that the maintainer of the code would have a
better concept of how he wants to handle errors in that function
than I do.

o If we've denied and disabled all compression protocols, stay
in ST_INITIAL and do an LCP protocol reject if we receive any
CCP packets.
o If we've disabled all compression protocols, go to ST_STOPPED
