I was not aware, and in light of that, thats great.  I do have one 
question though, and that is, can our wrapper stuff do reverse ident 
lookups on incoming connections?  tcpd and identifyd have this 
feature, which I feel is very handy for seeing who has dropped by.  
The other side of that being, if they do allow reverse ident lookups, 
can we deny/allow certain users@hosts individually, or is it an all 
or nothing thing there?
