NetBSD panix5.panix.com 5.0_BETA NetBSD 5.0_BETA (PANIX-XEN3U-USER-pae) #1: Thu Nov 13 17:26:16 EST 2008  root@juggler.panix.com:/misc1/obj/misc2/devel/netbsd/5-beta/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PANIX-XEN3U-USER-pae i386

>Description:
inetd does not log the IP address of the remote client making the connection, only the hostname:

Jan  1 13:00:04 logsources@panix5 inetd[740]: connection from panix1.panix.com, service finger (tcp)

This is insufficient for security review, since a day later (or even an hour later) the lookup of a hostname could have changed.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
add the IP address in [ ] brackets as most programs do.
