>Description:

	Running inetd(8) for services without any libwrap
	/etc/hosts_allow or /etc/hosts_deny rules, I nevertheless get
	spurious warnings to my log indicating that it's doing useless
	DNS lookups:

Jul 15 11:47:43 trundle inetd[16346]: warning: can't verify hostname: getaddrinfo(ip-56-242.venom-dc.com, 2) failed

>How-To-Repeat:

	run inetd without any reason to use libwrap

>Fix:

	Add an option or config syntax to disable all libwrap business?
