The one in CVS is just an example; I don't test it.
The spec looks good. Perhaps you could add a comment to the xinetd
file that it if it's on, the daemon should be turned off?
You might put '--nice 5' in the default options. You might add
examples of others as comments in the sysconfig file, in particular
--jobs and --allow.
