inet_aton conflict

[apparitio]

hey,
a redeclartion of inet_aton in net_db.c resulted in an error on my system.
extern int inet_aton ();
this is the line, I had to remove it in order to compile and I was wondering 
what it was good for.

The initial error message, on slackware 7.1 was this
net_db.c:85: conflicting types for `inet_aton'
/usr/include/arpa/inet.h:74: previous declaration of `inet_aton'

obvious enough.

Yours,
        Eli Shemer.
