tcp-wrapper won't be very helpful in the suggested scenario... unless
the victim has reason to /suspect/ a forgery why would s/he ask the
sysadmin to check the logs?  Of course if the sysadmin regularly checks
both the sendmail and wrapper logs, s/he might notice something amiss,
but it still won't help you track down the perp unless s/he happened
to be nice/foolish enough to execute the forgery on a machine that's
running authd, and from his/her own account.
