I would like to log requests to the services that I am not running.

For instance, I have the rlogin line commented out of my /etc/inetd.conf
For in
However, I would like to log all incoming requests to that service.

Note:  I have the tcpwrappers installed protecting the services that I
do offer (such as telnet and ftp).  They serve 2 purposes 1. logging,
and 2. selectively allowing and denying hosts.

How can I know when attempts are made to connect to services    
that are not available? TCP requests especially, but also UDP
requests like attemps to NFS mount.      

Thanks for any help.
