 I didn't want to do this because it means looking up a hostname in
 inetd before forking - this can block for some time, which would
 prevent inetd from starting any more services.
 
 You can already look up host names and log them by turning on
 wrappers with -Ww. If you don't want to do restrict the services
 available then you can do something like:
 
 ALL: UNKNOWN : severity local0.info : allow
 ALL: ALL : severity local0.info : allow
 
 The "UNKNOWN" should force tcpd to look up the host name - otherwise
 it won't bother.
