NOTE #2: Any argumentation that tcpd was deliberately left out is bogus: 1. The user may want to run inetd without -w to wrap only some services. 2. The user may want to run a super server that is not libwrap aware (other than inetd, from ports e. g.), and thus should be able to use tcpd. Therefore, tcpd should be installed. >How-To-Repeat: make buildworld && make installworld ; ls /usr/sbin >Fix: Fix the base system. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
