Other distributions have completely +removed support at this point. We strongly recommend you switch to more +modern packet filters, such as BPF, nftables, or iptables. If you rely +on tcp-wrappers, you can re-enable the flag, see + + https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.use + +for package-specific ways to re-enable tcp-wrappers. |
