Background; when compiling tcp_wrappers-7.6 from source libwrap.a is created. In the FreeBSD port, however, there is an additional lib, libwrap.so.7.6 (and a symblink to it from libwrap.so). OK, my question, what is the difference between libwrap.a and libwrap.so.7.6, under what circumstances is each one used, and how do I create libwrap.so.7.6 from sources?
