Yes, it's called tcpwrappers, and has been pretty standard on systems for I'd say about four years now :-) > This is annoying, is there a way you can turn > this off inside inetd? Yes, it's the bit on each line of /etc/inetd.conf which says "/usr/sbin/tcpd" - it does an ident lookup and logs the access to syslog before handing the connection over to the real daemon. If you don't want this to happen them remove the "/usr/sbin/tcpd" from inetd.conf and just have the standard daemon listed there on its own. Antony.
