05/07   So, i have set up tcp-wrappers on my linux box, how reliable
        are they, i.e. how easy would it be for someone to simply "spoof"
        one of the IP addresses I allow and thus eliminate the wrappers?
        \_ if they're on your subnet or control your router, pretty easy.
           If not, and if they want to actually initiate a real TCP connection,
           difficult/impossible.  -tom
