	Yes, someone else pointed that out too. I was trying to make
ypserv compile with -DTCP_WRAPPERS, but it seems non-trivial, so I just
backed out this change.

	It was not deleted, it was moved.

	Thank you, I just backed this one out as well.

	That depends on your perspective on this I suppose... My reasoning
at the time was that since all entries in inetd.conf are commented out by
default, turning the daemon on by default is silly. Also, users who
actually want inetd for something will likely have entries in
/etc/rc.conf[.local] either by design, or via sysinstall. However, if you
believe strongly that the default should continue to be YES, my feelings
won't be hurt if you change it.
