configure doesn't seem to work real well.  I have tcpd.h in 
/usr/local/include but configure doesn't find it.  I make a symlink so 
configure could find it in /usr/include but that didn't work either.  So 
I copied libwrap.a to /usr/lib but it still wasn't finding hosts_access 
in the library, even though I rebuilt tcp wrappers from a 
freshly-extracted archive.

Is there a different tcp wrappers distribution that I should use?


This is for Solaris 8.

Thanks!


Sorry for the long quote - hopefully it will help anyone else who missed 
the first part of the thread.
