That's an excellent point; inconsistency across the distribution is definitely points-off for tcp wrappers. > The only way administrator can figure out which daemon/service was > built with libwrap support, is via ldd/string grep magic since we as > an distribution have not provide them with a list which do support > it and which do not,nor do we have those component correctly depend > on libwrap.so.0. Can you point to an example of this? Since it is a compiled dynamic library, RPM's automatic dependency checking should get this. Try `repoquery --whatrequires tcp_wrappers-libs`. Speaking of inconsistency, I notice syslog-ng in that list but not rsyslogd.
