Hi Erik, Now that you've received a few interesting answers from people who aren't following current FreeBSD development, let me tell you what's happening. :-) The tcp_wrappers package is in the process of being incorporated into the base system. Our inetd is in the process of being taught how to link against and use libwrap (like NetBSD's inetd). Once that's done, FreeBSD will sport one of the coolest inetd's on the block. Follow the freebsd-current mailing list for updates on this story. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
