Although the specific deprecation steps aren't yet fleshed out I'm sending this as an early notice that I plan to disable libwrap support from the base system sshd and that FreeBSD 13 will not support it.
I’ll be sad to run inetd again on systems so that I can run a wrapped sshd. Like others I feel that adding firewalls to a machine simply to filter sshd is not an option and whatever else openssh itself has offered in the past never sufficed.
I am also worried that the change will make a lot of machines unprotected upon updating to 13 if there is no big red warning flag before the install.
I do understand the burden of maintaining a local patch (we lost the HA patches from base this way already).
Given the port already does maintain the patch I am wondering what “security guarantees” we provide for the port compared to the base system (ignoring possible security updates) or why the patch cannot be included in base? Compared to the HA patch, this one seems to be sillily small..
