food for next mail : can tcpd work for UDP?
No.
what about tcpd + xinetd?
xinetd has its own syntax like tcp wrappers, but it does not use libwrap.
what kinds of servers can tcpd notprotect?
Essentially, any server which is not called from tcpd will not be protectable. Hence, anything that runs standalone and forks children to handle requests (sendmail/apache, etc) cannot be protected by tcp wrappers.
