That I get with or without the -l flag to inetd. What I really wanted though
is the remote IP, as those paragraphs from the inetd man page promise:
When given the -l option inetd will log an entry to syslog each time a
connection is accepted, noting the service selected and the IP-number of
the remote requestor if available.
...
If the -l option is specified, all connection attempts are logged,
whether they are allowed, denied or not wrapped at all. Otherwise, only
denied requests will be logged.
