No objections from here.  I think it's a good change.

[snip patch that substitutes s/daemon/service/ in `security/chapter.sgml']

The word `daemon' has a more UNIXy sound and is traditionally used when
referring to the processes that implement a service, but IMHO what is
controlled by tcpwrappers is not access to a process but to the service(s)
this process provides.  So the word `service' is more appropriate.
