How do I uninstall this port? Yes it is. Find out the exact version that you installed. You can check by doing this: ls -ld /var/db/pkg/tcp_wrappers* You'll probably find that it's tcp_wrappers-7.6 . Then just remove it with the pkg_delete command: pkg_delete tcp_wrappers-7.6 Have fun. Remember two things, though: 1) You will have to rebuild any programs that were linked against the old Tcp Wrappers. Watch out for ssh, if you use it. 2) The TCP Wrappers in the base system use hosts.{allow|deny} files in /etc/ and not in /usr/local/etc . Ciao, Sheldon.
