Hello world,
I intend to split TCP wrappers from netbase shortly. This means there'll
be the following new packages:
libwrap7 -- libwrap.so.7 and manpages for hosts_access
libwrap7-dev -- headers and libwrap.a
tcpd -- /usr/sbin/tcpd and friends
The source package is "tcp-wrappers".
This is related to bugs #15311 and #37797 (ie, providing a shared libwrap
and separating tcp-wrappers from the Linux-specific bits of netbase for
the Hurd people).
netbase will depend on tcpd, which in turn depends on libwrap7. The
only functionality that'll disappear on an apt-get dist-upgrade is
/usr/lib/libwrap.a (ie, the static library) which shouldn't be a big
deal for anyone.
Both libwrap7 and tcpd will thus be priority: standard, and section:
base (because that's what netbase is). Ummmm.

Wietse Venema's network logger, also known as TCPD or LOG_TCP.
.
These programs log the client host name of incoming telnet,
ftp, rsh, rlogin, finger etc. requests. Security options are:
access control per host, domain and/or service; detection of
host name spoofing or host address spoofing; booby traps to
implement an early-warning system.
