Solaris Athena inetd man page is wrong.

Correcting my telnet configuration, I followed the instructions in the
man page "Inetd rereads its configuration  file  when  it  receives  a
hangup  signal,  SIGHUP."  It killed inetd instead.

I was confident that the /etc/athena/inetd was correctly documented,
since this man page DOES talk about the athena acces-on and access-off
programs.

Furthermore, I discovered an interesting problem:

When I mistakenly started /etc/athena/inetd as myself instead of root,
it happily ran, it just couldn't do anything.  I guess one is just
supposed to be inafallible here...
