Many thanks for the speedy responses. I had two problems that have been
resolved. 1) I was stupidly killing the syslogd process rather than the
inetd process (should be kill -HUP) and 2) tcpd is sending the log
output to syslog.dated mail.log (a bit of a surprise).

Ryan (rwn_at_udayton.edu) replied:

"We are using local7 to log to syslog here
because I think it keeps things neater. The entry looks like this:

local7.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/tcpd.log

and all our incoming connections are logged here. Of course, we
built tcpwrappers with the option to log to the local7 facility,
so you would have to do that. "

This seems like an excellent idea now that I've got it working.
Many thanks for you help:
