>Description:
	"inetd -l" records all but denied requests, this is too much in some circumstances:
	For instance, my wife is using one of my NetBSD systems as a pop server and I'm really 
	not interested in the fact that she has set her machine to pop mail every 5 minutes.
	In a couple of days the log file is filled with nothing but, "I popped mail again".  
	An ISP might what to log all of this but, not in my case and I don't think my situation
	is all that unique.
>How-To-Repeat:
	start "inetd -l" on a system serving mail via pop3.  Start a machine that pops mail
	every 5 minutes from the mail server.  
>Fix:
	I have put together a simple solution which follows.  It causes inetd to scan the
	file "/etc/inetd.nolog".  If inetd was going to make a log entry it scans the table
	constructed from the nolog file and if it finds the host:service pair it does not
	make the log entry.

	I've tested the code which follows and it seems to work as I have described.
	Changes for inetd.c, pathnames.h and inetd.8 follow:
