Not quite true IIRC, OpenSSH as built by Cobalt does support use of
tcp-wrappers, which is very useful and so worth noting.

( can't speak for RaQ4's, users are urged to test limiting SSH access by
using tcpdcheck or a very open ruleset before they lock themselves out of
their RaQs, I am not speaking on behalf of my employer, accept no liability,
and so on )
