Who has moved from inetd to xinetd?

Hello,

I discovered a while ago that HP offer an xinetd port for B.11.11 as well as B.11.23 in their Internet Express collection of OpenSource applications and tools.
e.g.
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

As I got used to xinetd from our RHEL and Fedora boxes I found it much more feature rich than good old inetd, not last to mention the included tcp wrapper with a much finer grained access control than inetd.sec.
However, I still hesitate shifting our HP-UX boxes from inetd to xinetd.
So I would like to hear from you if someone is using the offered xinetd port on B.11.11 already, and what their experience with it under this OS are.

Regards
Ralph
