Not necessarily:

request_init(&wrap_req, RQ_DAEMON, progname , RQ_FILE, s, NULL);

could be the initial call into the tcp-wrapper library.

tcpd uses the last path portion of argv[0] to match against, but that does
not have to be so - progname can be a char * to another string as well.

Just decided to hack libwrap support into lprng and lprold.
