 /*
  * Front end to the ULTRIX miscd service. The front end logs the remote host
  * name and then invokes the real miscd daemon. Install as "/usr/etc/miscd",
  * after renaming the real miscd daemon to the name defined with the
  * REAL_MISCD macro.
  * 
  * Connections and diagnostics are logged through syslog(3).
  * 
  * The Ultrix miscd program implements (among others) the systat service, which
  * pipes the output from who(1) to stdout. This information is potentially
  * useful to systems crackers.
