This commit fixes the following.

With the stock /etc/host.conf, hosts(5) is consulted first for hostname
resolution, before DNS.  If you also happen to run inetd(8) with the -l
option any try to connect to `myname' using its real IP address through
inetd(8), e.g. `ftp -a myname', your /var/log/messages will get spammed
with:

inetd[PID]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 23: host name/name mismatch: myname.my.domain != localhost
