Hey people. I've removed tcp_wrappers and removed it from openssh and cups. Everything works fine.
I've noticed Arch also removed it in 2011: https://www.archlinux.org/news/dropping-tcp_wrappers-support/
Since it makes more problems than it's worth, why have it? Why not remove it completely from core and leave it as an optional package?

I would probably +1 a move to removing tcp_wrappers
from all CRUX core/oprt ports as well. I've never used
a LInux server or workstation with practical use for tc_wrappers.
