Add command-line option (-w), specified once to enable wrapping and
twice to enable wrapping for internal wrapping as well. If the option is
not specified wrapping is turned off so that inetd will behave exactly
as it used to before TCP Wrappers was imported.
Change etc/defaults/rc.conf so as to encourage wrapping on new systems.
Clarify the use of TCP Wrappers in the IMPLEMENTATION NOTES of the
manual page.
