inetd-style socket passing traditionally starts a service with a connected socket on file descriptors 0 and 1. passt disallowing obtaining its socket from either of these descriptors made it difficult to use with super-servers providing this interface — in my case I wanted to use passt with s6-ipcserver[1].
Hah, interesting usage, first report I've seen with s6. Is that to dispatch passt processes for a network / set of guests or something?
Since (as far as I can tell) passt does not use standard input for anything else (unlike standard output),
Correct (...and unlike standard error, too).
it should be safe to relax the restrictions on --fd to allow setting it to 0, enabling this use case.
