Indeed.
[root@fogarty network-scripts]# egrep '\<(id|uniq)\>' *
init.ipv6-global: sysctl -a | grep "^net\.ipv6\.conf\."

network-functions: if [ "`id -u`" = "0" ]; then
neither id nor uniq should be considered available before netfs and
autofs have run.
either these 2 utils should be installed to /bin, not /usr/bin (sort
is installed to /bin) or network init scripts should not use them.

I suggest either portmap should statically link libwrap, or
libwrap.so should install to /lib.
