What does xinetd not being installed have to do with ssh checking
hosts.{deny,allow}?
Oh, I see. it is possible to have a program that uses tcpwrappers
without going through xinetd. I did not understand before. Now i do
see in the opensh source's INSTALL file the option that compiles in
tcp-wrappers.
--with-tcp-wrappers will enable TCP Wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow|deny)
But now I don't understand what role xinetd is/was performing side by
side with the tcpwrap protection inside ssh's build.
