I know it has the forbidden tag on, I noticed that when I tried a
make. But then I started looking for some documentation on how to use the
hosts.allow with my current system and wether anthing in the inetd.conf
needed to be adjusted. I found this example.config file and hence I
assumed it was still applicable. (boy I was wrong). It didn't (and won't
most others) take long to find out what *should* be done, but still it's
confusing imho. 

Maybe a warning in the config-file like:

*this file shoud NOT be used as an example if you're using =>4.x*

So; I know it's not really broken but it can be confusing and I noticed
some other people in the mailinglist archive that tried to apply this file
too. Can we make this more clear somehow or am I just being a nitpicker
:) ?

Cheerio,

arjan
