The inetd (Internet services daemon) is responsible for starting standard Internet services when a system boots. These services include applications that use TCP or UDP as their transport layer protocol. You can modify existing Internet services or add new services using the SMF commands. INETD service is a super service which helps proxy connections for servers.
