https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3906701 "The TCP Wrappers package has been deprecated in RHEL 7 and therefore it will not be available in RHEL 8 or later RHEL releases". > If the former, might it be reasonable for a user to change the 8's in > the code below to 9's?

For reasons and alternatives, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Deprecate_TCP_wrappers Best regards Gerald >>> We are looking into this, it was indeed removed from el7 by accident.
