I like this one, rrdcached needs TCP-wrappers support since it has so little internal security.  I'd actually assumed it already had this, though I'd not checked... I'm using a hostbased firewall to protect it, anyway.

As you say, it would probably need to add the options in to the configure script to detect libwrap, and so on.
