I have seen problems with Kerberos when using it with systems that use
STREAMS & TLI for networking (ie - Solaris). Kerberos wanted to use the
getpeername() call to find out the address on the other size of the
connection, and that failed when using TLI. My solution at the time was
to push the "sockmod" module onto the stream, which made all of the BSD
networking calls work. Maybe tcp wrappers is doing the same for you?
Just a random guess -- I don't know why the other ones work fine.
