Restore default SIGHUP, SIGCHLD and SIGALRM handlers in forked inetd
processes. This happens to work around the fact that hosts_access()
doesn't (but should) set SIG_IGN as the handler for SIGCHLD while it
handles the spawn option, but it would make sense even if that were
not true.
This does not address the leaking descriptors issue discussed on the
same PR.

internal services in inetd.conf .
The inetd(8) manpage used to say that the official name of a service
_must_ be used, yet inetd itself was hardcoded to used a service alias for
the auth service, namely ident!
Rather than change inetd.conf and break existing configurations on next
upgrade, we now allow service aliases as well as official names. This
allows the software to work as expected and still support existing
configurations.
This should not breaking existing wrapped configurations either and the
inetd(8) manpage already states that it is the service name specified in
inetd.conf that is used for calls to hosts_access(3).

For a tcp/nowait connection, inetd invokes accept(2) for
each pending connection; this call returns a file descriptor
associated with the new connection.
Twelve years ago, code was added to inetd to detect "failing
servers". The heuristic that identifies a failing server is
one that has been invoked a large number of times over some
specified interval (e.g., more than 128 ftp services started
in 60 seconds may flag the ftp service as "failing"). These
compile-time constants vary depending on vendor.
The problem is that, when a failing server is detected, the
code neglects to close the file descriptor returned by the
accept(2).
Security-Implications:
I suppose someone with ample free time could orchestrate an
attack buy pummeling services until the inetd process finally
runs out of file descriptors thus rendering inetd useless to
any new connections that require a new descriptor.

This causes:
1: inetd to clear it's getlogin() name at startup (in case the sysadmin
logged in and su'ed to root and restarted inetd)
2: inetd to start each spawned process in it's own session.
3: inetd to call setlogin() on non-root processes (eg: uucp for uucico)
4: log failures more extensively
This means that root spawned processes from inetd remain responsible for
setting their login name if they change their uid. (eg: rshd, login, etc).
If they do not do so, it is safer for them to have no "login name" than a
wrong one (like "root") because the getlogin() system call is documented
as "secure" on 4.4BSD. inetd when started from /etc/rc would have no login
name anyway, so this isn't really a change - it's making it consistant with
the bootup state...
The setsid() change *may* cause something to break that is doing a setsid()
itself and checking the result - it will fail now because it's already been
done. The consensis seems to be that this is unlikely. David G. thinks
this is acceptable as it is cleaner from an architectural point of view.
