ipsvd project is a set of Internet protocol service daemons for TCP/IP and UDP/IP. A daemon waits for incoming connections on a socket; for new connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program to handle the connection.

The daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined instructions on how to handle incoming connections; based on the client's IP address or hostname, they can run different programs, set a different environment, deny a connection, or set a per host concurrency limit.

On Linux the network connection optionally can be encrypted using SSL3. ipsvd can be used to run services usually run by inetd or tcpserver. Normally the daemons are run by a supervisor process, such as runsv from the runit package, or daemontools' supervise.

What's New in This Release:
This version introduces a new sslsvd SSLv3 TCP/IP service daemon.
sslsvd integrates the sslio program into tcpsvd, so that initializing the SSL session and reading the SSL key and certificate no longer need to be done for each incoming connection, but only once on startup of the service daemon.
