Tcpdchk doesn't know if you're running inetd with the -w flag, so it
says 'possibly not wrapped'.  Since you are running with -w, you can
ignore it.

Also, I don't think sshd takes a -I argument.  Why not just run it on
startup (sshd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf)?  sshd has tcp-wrapper
support builtin too, so you shouldn't need to launch a new copy from
inetd on every connect.
