I thought this would have been a required package to be installed by default
but its not installed.  I have been browsing through my RH security book
"Red Hat Linux Security and Optimization" by Mohammed Kabir.  I was actually
going through the RH8 security section on NFS and it pointed to securing
portmon which pointed to tcpwrappers.  I then looked in the book to find
more detailed info than what i was finding on websites about NFS/tcpwrappers
and it showed that xinetd should be compiled running the configure script
with "--with-libwrap=/usr/libwrap.a".  So i looked for the file "libwrap.a"
to see if it was installed and no it was not.  I then looked to check to see
if tcpd (tcpwrappers) was installed and no it was not.  I was wondering why
this was so.  Any thoughts?
