[EXTERNAL] Bringing back tcp wrappers

[Robinson, Herbie]

I second this request.  We were forced to put tcpwrappers support in ourselves because customers complained about the removal…

I compiled the latest version, 8.1, inside Centos 7.9, and to my dismay,
there was no support for libwrap, which offers a level of protection that
is added to a firewall, but in my opinion, it works better. Also, I didn’t
find service definitions for Systemd. ¿where can I find them?

How do I overcome these obstacles? In the times when cyberattacks come on a
daily basis, we should keep libwrap baked into openssh, even as optional.



Thanks for your help.
