>Description:
tcpd and its manual page (part of tcp_wrappers by Wietse Venema) are
not installed by make buildworld && make installworld

tcpd should be compiled with -DHOSTS_OPTIONS and be installed into
/usr/sbin.

tcp_wrappers are claimed part of the base system and contained in the
contrib subtree.

** NOTE: THIS IS A BUG REPORT AGAINST THE BASE SYSTEM, NOT THE PORTS TREE. **

PR #misc/33257 already reported this, but had been closed by
cjc@freebsd.org after a misunderstanding.

NOTE #2: Any argumentation that tcpd was deliberately left out is bogus:

1. The user may want to run inetd without -w to wrap only some services.

2. The user may want to run a super server that is not libwrap aware (other
than inetd, from ports e. g.), and thus should be able to use tcpd.

Therefore, tcpd should be installed.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
make buildworld && make installworld ; ls /usr/sbin
	
>Fix:
Fix the base system.
