Thanks for the replies. I found out that it does support tcp wrappers. Already turned on and configured in my dist.

There's no magic command for this.  But this trick works.

# strings -f yourbinaryfile | grep hosts_access

If the binary has been compiled against libwrap.a, you'll
see at least one line of output with a matched string.

For more information, see:
