Hmm, I remember learning about xinetd in my system administration class. That's the one that manages network services, right? I'm going with E) xinetd.

The hosts.allow file is used for access control, so it's gotta be either B) inetd or E) xinetd. Definitely not fingerd or mountd.

I'm not sure, but I think E) xinetd also uses hosts.allow for access control.
