Why ?
If the guy wants to use TCP Wrappers with one other specific application / bit of system software (= IP Tables) and wishes to build it from source, why should he have to worry about SSHD compatibility if he does not want to use TCP Wrappers with SSHD ?
That's not how I read Jim's response. I read it as, if you wished to use tcpwrappers with sshd, you'd have to rebuild sshd. If you only have one app you need to rebuild that's not so bad, but if you have a half dozen it could be annoying.
