I have never personally liked using tcp-wrappers. BEST doesn't use it
at all, and for good reason: (A) there usually isn't enough stuff worth
wrapping, and (B) any machine loaded enough to be a target for repeated
spamming, attacks, etc.... is also loaded enough that tcp-wrappers
represents too large a burden. (C) ipfw works well enough for what
I care about.
I don't mind tcp-wrappers being included with the system, but I will
fight tooth and nail if someone actually tries to make tcp-wrappers
a run-time element of the standard FreeBSD distribution.
