Could you please consider using a different OS?why does sshd and ftpd have hard-coded process IDs ?
I was under the assumption that if sshd, ftpd, ? are started in inetd they are always available. Maybe what I was reading is that as long as inted has started, it can spawn sshd/ftpd/? whenever it needs to. So is is better for a process like sshd to run as it's own process or have a parent like inetd ?

BTW, why does sshd and ftpd have hard-coded process IDs ?
Not really, you have required services which FreeBSD provides with full control and designed in that way. Inetd is a super-server daemon on Linux systems with many security issues and designed in that way for that system.Do we need both ?
