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.
