Non-wrapped service

I am getting the following warning message from the ESM (Enterprise security manager). How can i rectify the same?

Service name: exec
"Non-wrapped service: ESM found an inetd service that is not wrapped by one of the wrappers listed for the Non-wrapped Services check. Service wrappers are used to restrict access to the wrapped service. Services that are not wrapped can be a security risk. You should use wrappers to control who has access to network services and to log the use of services."

Re: Non-wrapped service

Sounds like maybe you are trying to run a service that tcp wrappers can't handle.

1) Do you use tcp wrappers?

If yes, may need to stop or change inetd.conf configuration to deal with this.
