If you built tcp_wrapper via the ports system, then the hosts.* files
will be located in /usr/local/etc. Check it out, the patch is plain as
day. My guess is that anything that is built with the ports system is
intended to be local, hence /usr/local.

You need to install pidentd. Look in /ports/security/identd.
