Most certainly YES!!! Next to iptables tcp_wrappers is a solid seconde line of defense. The argument that is is no longer developped is rubbish.
Geen onzin :-)
Who is developing the software's functionality ?
There is no current maintainer. Inevitably software may need alterations, even small alterations, but without a volunteer maintainer how can those alterations be done uniformly to all versions all over the world ?
No one has stated the software is bad. The comments have been its old and un-maintained. Old software does work well, so that is not an excuse to kill-it-off. But without a maintainer who can add new functions and repair any deficiencies (if they ever occur) what future has this software realistically got ?
If TCP Wrappers "disappears" into oblivion after Centos/RHEL 7 finishes, is that likely to create a problem ? Individuals can, I assume, still compile it and use it with Centos.
Mvg,
