Hello all,

Does anyone know if someone has already implemented the following
tcp_wrappers enhancements wrt. /etc/hosts.allow/deny :

 - Support for '?' and '*' wildcards for hostnames
   * .domain.com use is _way_ too inflexible if subdomains haven't been
named with great care.

 - Support for including external files to hosts.allow for specific
services.
   * This would make hosts.allow easier to maintain
(esp. wrt. synchronization)  if a lot of different services use
/etc/hosts.allow.  This has been done in recent versions of FreeBSD.

As a lot of services depend on TCP wrappers, enhancing its functionaly a
little bit might be very useful.
