telnet fails – tcp_wrapper is out of date

telnet fails – tcp_wrapper is out of date

I can’t telnet to my machine today.  I get an error message when I try. 
This is how I fixed it.

I received the following message when I tried to telnet to my
machine today:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libwrap.so.7" 
                                             not found

The general consensus is that I need to reinstall tcp_wrapper.
  So that’s what I’m doing.  I’ll just do the following:

# cd /usr/ports/security/tcp_wrapper
# make clean
# make depend
# make
# make deinstall
# make reinstall

After that, everything was fine.

If this doesn’t fix your problem, please add your comments.
