    A simple interim workaround for nmap-kills-inetd is to replace
    inetd invokations with
    
            ( trap "" 13; exec /path/to/inetd )
    
    or, under Solaris
    
            ( trap "" 13; exec /usr/sbin/inetd -s )
    
    this causes SIGPIPE to be ignored. Unfortunately,
    it is also ignored for inetd's children. This may cause some
    problems for services which run under inetd that expect SIGPIPE,
    but on the whole, I think you're better off this way.
