Re^2: Systemd socket activated service in perl

Thanks for the link to Systemd::Daemon I will check it out.

Sadly, the example code you have given me for xinetd won't be sufficient. I really need the remote IP address as for the production service the same request will get substantially different answers depending on who is asking, and that answer can change from minute to minute via a database query. A simple whitelist of allowed IP addresses is no where near sufficient.

Thanks for the tip that it will be in the environment of the spawned process, though actually it is in REMOTE_ADDR (not REMOTE_HOST)	[reply]
