Thanks. I used this info, and the ldd command. I pretty much rebuilt
everything anyway. :) I am setting up a new FreeBSD 4.9R-p3 server; and I
figure now is still the time to do major changes.

What about tcp_wrappers, though? I rebuild stunnel (inet-version), and it
still says,

stunnel 3.26 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.9 PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7c
30 Sep 2003

Odd; because the stand-alone stunnel, via the ports, seems ok:

stunnel 4.04 on i386-portbld-freebsd4.9 PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7d
17 Mar 2004

Besides, tcp_wrappers does not seem to be in the ports anyway (which makes
sense, as it is part of the base-system). Still, do I need a new
tcp_wrappers? And if so, where do I find it?

Thanks,
