Prentis,
I don't quite understand what the dll has to do with inetd. Since
inetd is using tcpd, it's never linked against libwrap anyway.
It's actually not that hard. If sshd is working when linked against
the static lib, it very likely works using the dll. You don't even
have to change ssh's makefile since the Cygwin ld links against the
dll first, if available.
However, I've found a problem when sshd is linked against tcp wrappers
but AFAICS it's a flaw in Cygwin.
