In my neverending quest for the School Server, I am looking for a
'unix socket superserver', something akin to xinetd listening on
oldstyle unix sockets. Connecting to the right socket triggers the
superserver to spawn a (potentially memory-heavy, privileged) process
to handle the connection, with the superserver handling rate limiting,
etc.
xinetd doesn't seem to know how to do this at all. ucspi-unix and its
close cousin ucspi-ipc seem to cover the requirements but are not in
Fedora. Are there alternatives that I am overlooking?
thanks!

New subject: Fedora 11 SD Cards for XOs
Is the procedure the same as for F10 where the following can be used to
create 4GB SD cards?:
bash livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --xo --overlay-size-mb 320 --swap-size-mb 256
F11-i686-Live.iso /dev/$device
Also is there a newer livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script I should use, or is
the one used to create the F10 SD cards sufficient?
Please get back to me so we can begin shipping F11 SD Cards tomorrow.
Thank you,
Todd

I think it should be fine. There's also a version of the script here
http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ but I'm not sure if its changed
at all.

New subject: usb-creator = live F11 for the XO?
Just a heads-up (or maybe everyone already knows but me?)
Although I didn't mention it in the article
(http://on-disk.com/cms/index.php?wiki=Review-Fedora_11_page1) because I
haven't had a chance to test it, the live usb-creator also creates the
olpc.fth file in a boot directory on the USB flash drive.
I'm hoping to get some time early this coming week to see if it creates
a usable SD card for the OLPC using a USB SDHC card reader.
Thank you,
Todd

It worked for me under Windows a month ago with an 8GB SD card, so I
added it to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rawhide-XO
I also assume that the
http://people.sugarlabs.org/sdz/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script and some
combination of the instructions in
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux and
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC would
work for F11 builds.
I think LiveUSB/livecd is a much better way to get a bootable flash
drive than the `zcat 20090217.bootable.gz > /dev/sdX` that
http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ still recommends , which
* Leaves the following GBs of space on your card inaccessible.
* Degrades the flash device (see wmb comment on Rawhide-XO page).
* And if you get the device letter wrong, trashes your partition table
and turns your Windows NTFS partition into an unbootable mess that
TestDisk can read fine but any filesystem that pays attention to ACLs
thinks is inaccessible by every user in the known universe, thus
forcing you into Kubuntu full-time despite its quirks. [*]
