We are looking at a number of security enhancements here for some of our 
servers.  One of them is tcpwrappers.  From what I have seen, read, and tested 
it seems to be pretty secure.  I was wondering what the general feeling is out 
in the world of tcpwrappers?  Are there any disadvantages?   Does anyone know 
of any instance in which a server has gotten through the wrappers?

Thanks,
Donna
