Hi folks,

About a week ago, we made inetd's TCP Wrapper support a command-line
option instead of a compile-time option. While this was met with
unanimous approval, a number of people objected to the limited -w
option.

I've just committed a change that allows wrapping for each of internal
and external services to be enabled independantly of the other. If you
have inetd_flags="-w -w" in /etc/rc.conf, you'll need to change it to:

inetd_flags="-w -W"

or remove the option altogether, since this is the defaults/rc.conf
behaviour anyway.

As with the previous change, folks who don't mergemaster after a make
world are going to experience problems with subsequent reboots. :-)

Thanks to everyone who put effort into persuading me against the
original command-line syntax.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
