Tobias/All,
  tcpd itself is not actually on my system anywhere.
In fact the only "source" for it is in /usr/src/contrib/tcp_wrappers/tcpd.c
and make buildworld didn't compile it, and it make installworld didn't
attempt to install it (or compile it either).

  I did the suggestion of modifying the make file in the ports
tree, and it's man page, as well as the one sitting in 
/usr/src/contrib/tcp_wrappers/tcpd.8 both still indicate that the
usual modifications to inetd (to call tcpd) are still how it's done.

  A "locate" fails to find the tcpd program, just where is it
supposed to be, and where are it's sources suppossed to live ?
Is it reasonable to expect a "SUP'd" -stable "make buildworld"
"make installworld" to fix this ? (I guess I can do it again --)) )
Should I just "install" the one from ports ???? I need tcpd on
this system before I allow it to be exposed to the internet and
would welcome suggestions on the "right" way to get it installed.

Thanks again,
Jim
