[BusyBox] RFC: telnetd/inetd/httpd

Hi,

With the recent additions of tinylogin applets into busybox I wonder
if patches to add inetd/telnetd/httpd etc. would be welcome.  If so,
how to handle the suid'ness?  

Either as a separate binary:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2001-September/004658.html

Or better yet a single binary that drops priv's before executing 
all but the applets that need suid:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2001-September/004684.html

I took a quick glance at the recent archives for discussion of this
topic and didn't see anything.


Thanks for the input,

David
