Bringing back tcp wrappers

[Saint Michael]

I suggest that we turn it into a ./configure option.
I found the patch but I am unable to adapt it to the current version.
Any volunteers? Also, we need the service definition files for Systemd.
For example, Ubuntu 20.10 supports libwrap
strings $(which sshd)| grep libwrap
libwrap.so.0
libwrap refuse returns
why do we need to ruin the lives of millions of security officers?
I got hacked in 72 servers this week, they installed Bitcoin miners.
