Assuming you installed slackware, you are running a package called
TCP Wrappers.  A quick look at /etc/inetd.conf will tell you.

# sample lines from /etc/inetd.conf
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
# end sample

tcpd logs incomming connections through syslogd.
check out /var/adm/messages for lines like:

Jul 24 17:24:50 yourhostname in.telnetd[31189]: connect from foo.fee.org
for telnet,
Jul 24 17:23:50 yourhostname in.rlogind[31184]: connect from foo.fee.org
for rlogin,
Jul 24 17:23:50 yourhostname in.rshd[31184]: connect from foo.fee.org
for rsh.
