If you're using tcpd from inetd, then getpeername() will *not* work.
The inetd in ptx/TCP passes a TLI endpoint, not a socket so the correct
routine to call is getpeerinaddr().
I have personally had success making "sockety" programs work from inetd
by popping "timod" off the stream and pushing "sockmod". Your mileage
however might vary and this is not an official Sequent recommendation,
purely personal observation from one too lazy to want to change his
sockets-using programs to use TLI instead :-)
You obviously would not want to do this to tcpd 'cos you'd break all the
programs that get called underneath !
