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.
