Like most documentation, it doesn't assume you are running anything but their software, and therefore doesn't specifically mention the use of wrappers. How are they supposed to know that YOU (specifically) happen to have something else installed? Hell, even those vendors that DO know you have wrappers installed don't mention anything about it. Those are the folks that you should be 'scolding'. Just as a case in point, from a stock RH6.1 box: #linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf --http *sigh* -- M.
