   Frankly, I've never looked into it. I don't run xinetd over here. Though I did   
   make a successful /etc/init.d/binkd using start-stop-daemon. It works, and I'm   
   not thoroughly informed on ivp6 yet, so I really have no reason to have that   
   enabled. Honestly, I don't really know what it does or how it works yet. But   
   someday. :)_

   You could. But then again, I don't even use a "USE" variable in /etc/make.conf   
   right now. I used to have one that was 1000 characters long with a desktop   
   environment. I'm not really into that anymore. The BBS machine is a nice new   
   Gentoo install with syslog-ng, logrotate, vixie-cron, and a dhcp client. That's   
   about it besides my prerequisites for my BBS software, the software itself, and   
   binkd. I'm trying to keep it minimal this time around. I have an i5 with   
   multiple VMs for toying around with whatever I want.   
      
   Either way, the original binkd tarball compiles fine with no requirements, USE   
   flags, or anything else for that matter. And I'm totally fine with that. :)
