I have fixed a minor bug regarding how rwsecure adds information to the hosts.deny file that stnick had pointed out. If you currently use rwsecure, I would suggest that you erase your current /etc/hosts.deny file (make sure it still exists, but that is empty). Otherwise you do not need to worry about it. No other changes in this release.
