Summary:	dante example config file isn't adapted to gentoo completely

Description Clock 2005-06-01 08:25:16 UTC

/usr/share/doc/dante-1.1.15-r1/example/sockd.conf.gz reads:
"If you compiled with libwrap support, what userid should it use
# when executing your libwrap commands?  \"libwrap\""

When the user installs on gentoo, he doesn't do any decision regarding libwrap,
therefore he cannot know answer to this question. I suggest this to be patched
by gentoo patch so it contains the information whether gentoo compiles it with
libwrap or not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.zless /usr/share/doc/dante-1.1.15-r1/example/sockd.conf.gz

again, you are talking about a sample file found in /usr/share/doc.

what did you thought "tcpd" useflag stands for?
  mrness@alin mrness $ euse -i tcpd
  global use flags (searching: tcpd)
  ************************************************************
  [+  D ] tcpd - Adds support for TCP wrappers

Comment 2 Clock 2005-06-05 07:15:44 UTC

Then I suggest a note that "libwrap relates to tcp wrappers USE flag" be added into suitable place into dante documentation in /usr/share/doc/dante-*  You cannot expect user to read all avilable documentation about gentoo to find is libwrap isn't accidentally mentioned somewhere.
