I just finished installing 4.0-RELEASE on my PC164, and looking over
/etc/inetd.conf it appeared that tcp_wrappers wasn't installed. However,
doing "cd /usr/ports/security/tcp_wrapper ; make install", gives an
error message telling me tcp_wrappers is in the base system.  The thing
is, the man pages for hosts_access(3) and (5) are installed, as are a
couple of other things that belong to tcp_wrappers--in fact, pretty much
everything except tcpd itself seem to be present.

I'm brand new to FreeBSD, so be gentle with me :-)  but is there any
reason I couldn't comment out the following three lines from
/usr/ports/security/tcp_wrapper/Makefile:

  .if exists(/usr/include/tcpd.h)
  FORBIDDEN=     tcp_wrappers is in the base system
  .endif

And then make install?
