You didn't understand what I was trying to say. tcpd works on my system,
which I freshly cvsupped and installed on Monday. Edit your
/etc/hosts.allow and see if it works for you. It most likely will.
My suggestions about the
port was only to get the manpages (which you can also get from the source
tree, of course)

I actually don't really care if there is no tcpd executable on the system,
as long as it's running (I guess that's what 'integrated in the base
system' means, no executable to start, but it's working anyway). After
all, the include file is present, and if you copy the manpage as well, you
got all you need.

Just trust me on this one, your tcpd works, even if you can't find an
executable. If you don't trust me, just check if I'm right by testing it
;-)

cheers, Tobe
