I haven't tried so don't know, but I'd guess you still need -lwrap, but
that the compiler can find it for itself.

I'm worried about a world in which you can't assume that a mail

his system as you do. Even if the assumption is wrong, you should
be allowed to make that assumption, at least until he pays you to
know about his system.
