Turns out some servers here - like the one i tested - were.  But we have
some using the debian package

Package: openssh-server
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 1:4.3p2-5

and they don't!  The test fails on these and only these.  So this
version didn't have 'wrappers compiled in.  Aaargh...

thanks! teach me to not test every host.  Looks like i'm rolling my own.
