[text of RFC1078 deleted]

I've implemented something similar, "supersrv."  It was sent to
comp.sources.unix some time ago, but hasn't been posted.  It does
not sit on port 1 (it's intended to be run by users, not necessarily
by sysadmins) but could be easily modified to conform to the RFC.
Hopefully it will appear on comp.sources.unix soon, and you can see
what you think.  (Mail me your comments...)  It is available for
anonymous ftp on ssyx.ucsc.edu (128.114.133.1) in pub/unix-misc.

These are my opinions, which you can probably ignore if you want to.
