Misconfigured tcp_wrappers is a major support issue with me. We are
building a set of pages for our usergroup to help people out. I'm
advising (for what it's worth) for people to log tcp_wrapper output
to a separate file so it's easier to locate, otherwise it can get
lost in the noise of a busy syslog.
