+## This is a quick example listen-exec server, which was used for a while to
+## distribute netcat prereleases.  It illustrates use of netcat both as a
+## "fake inetd" and a syslogger, and how easy it then is to crock up a fairly
+## functional server that restarts its own listener and does full connection
+## logging.  In a half-screen of shell script!!
