Re: TCP Wrappers

[Prentis Brooks <prentis at aol dot net>]

Ok, I will do that.  I haven't seen your email, is there someplace I can
go grab your changes, I just went through and re-read the conversation
and I think I originally missed your meaning for the -src problems.  I
thought I followed the docs on cygwin.com.  I will definately look at
your mods and compare them to what I read.  Then I will either send the
list any errors there or recommend clarification since something didn't
make sense... or, I will correct my own processor ;)
