True enough, but remember that the person asking why his system wasn't
working anymore 'since' he re-compiled his TCP Wrappers package. He didn't
mention wether it was a new version he'd just downloaded or not. I'd rather
point out a small, but possible problem like this, which could potentially
be serious, than not do and hear later that someone's system has been
compromised.
