+use monotonic time
+
+when using xinet.d to limit rsync connections and time is set back,
+the connection limit is reached very quickly and rsync gets deactivated,
+if time is changed again, rsync is never reactivated.
+
+date -s "xxx"
+xinetd[xxx]: Deactivating service rsync due to excessive incoming connections. Restarting in 10 seconds.
+
+the timer of xinet.d is based on time() function, and it is affected by system time.
