>Description:

The tcp_wrappers port is marked as forbidden now that the functionality is
in the base system.  However, there was a question on freebsd-security re.
how to enable the wrappers.  This patch updates the forbidden message to
point people in the right direction.

>How-To-Repeat:

(cd ports/security/tcp_wrappers; make )

>Fix:

This patch will be available at 
http://www.cs.vt.edu/~dhagan/freebsd/pr<num>.patch once a id has been 
assigned to this pr.
