84c60f0d3f Workaround for the setlogin()-in-same-session-as-inetd bug.
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.

32b505b222 Implement simple quoting for command args.
Previously "abc xyz" became 2 args split at the space.
