Ethan Benson, you're my hero. I've been searching for this info for
hours now. All I need now is that you tell me that this ...

sonic:/etc/init.d# tcpdchk 
warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 14: portmap: service possibly not
wrapped
warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 15: mountd: no such process name in
/etc/inetd.conf
warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 16: lockd: no such process name in
/etc/inetd.conf
warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 17: statd: no such process name in
/etc/inetd.conf
sonic:/etc/init.d#

... is ok. I have those in hosts.allow/deny (there is another mail in
thew current thread that details my setup, if you care), but somehow
wasn't sure if the libwrap stuff really is the way I believed it is

Any comments appreciated
