Yes, it's called tcpwrappers, and has been pretty standard on systems for I'd 
say about four years now :-)

Yes, it's the bit on each line of /etc/inetd.conf which says "/usr/sbin/tcpd" 
- it does an ident lookup and logs the access to syslog before handing the 
connection over to the real daemon.

If you don't want this to happen them remove the "/usr/sbin/tcpd" from 
inetd.conf and just have the standard daemon listed there on its own.
