Perhaps you mean --inetd, not --foreground? The only effect of
the `--foreground' is that it inhibits the use of daemon()
functions, so that the program remains attached to its controlling
terminal.

When `--inetd' is in effect, the transcript settings do not
apply, indeed.  That's because `transcript' is defined on a per server
basis. That is, you might have, for example:

server 127.0.0.1 {
  transcript yes;
}

server 213.130.31.41 {
  transcript no;
}

both in a single config file. The daemon will then show session
transcripts for sessions obtained on 127.0.0.1, but not for those
received on 213.130.31.41. However, neither of these settings apply
to inetd mode.

What about introducing a special `server' block, e.g.:

server inetd {
 ...
}

?
