The Hobbit's fixkits are a various assortment of fixes for a few software
packages such as wu-ftpd, sendmail 8.6.10, TCP/Wrapper 7,2, among other
things.  All of the fixes are for older versions of the software.  As stated
above, you're probably better off with wu-ftpd-beta11.

You can get wu-ftpd-beta11 from 
ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-11.tar.Z.
Washington University at Saint Louis no longer supports wu-ftpd.

> Where can one get those ?

You can get the Hobbit's fixkits from ftp://ftp.avian.org/src/fixkits.

> Why are they not incorporated in ports ?

Now that wu-ftpd is maintained by Academ Consulting Services, are there any
legal issues with incorporating beta-11 in ports?
