Try this, then do killall -HUP inetd (tells it to read init files again;
or you can restart inetd and logging via the /etc/rc.d/init.d scripts).
Change the above line to name oldschool first before the others:
127.0.0.1    oldschool   localhost.localdomain   localhost

You might need to restart logging as well to test this.
