It is now fixed :-)

I've also added a warning if the logname of a session is set twice.
This will happen for some common daemons including ftpd.
The fix is (usually) to add a call to setsid() prior to calling
setlogname.

Adding a setsid() to inetd won't fix things because you can't
call setsid() twice in the same process.
