I like to make a request to whoever maintains the RPM versions of Netatalk
on Sourceforge (sorry, forgot who you are). The RPM version of Netatalk I'm
running (netatalk-1.4.99-0.20001108mdk) isn't linked against tcp-wrappers:

# ldd /usr/sbin/afpd
        libcrypto.so.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 (0x40018000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x400d6000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x400e5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400fb000)
        libdb.so.3 => /lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40100000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x4013a000)
        libcrack.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2 (0x40168000)
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40173000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4017b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

It would be really nice if it was the case, as it would add extra
piece-of-mind to people like me who have internet-facing Netatalk servers,
so that we can restrict access by IP, etc.

BTW, if the new 1.5pre version is linked against tcp-wrappers, then my
apologies... :)
