There is a "tcpd" USE variable, and the main package itself is in sys-apps/tcp-wrappers. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |

Thats a good one, i was wondering why i don't have a hosts.allow.
I'm using portsentry and it generated a hosts.deny but no hosts.allow.
Now i know what i did wrong!!
Thanks rac |

TCP Wrappers is a wrapper program for services that are run out of the inetd superservice daemon. Through config files (/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny) it is possible to limit access to specified hosts with a more fine-grained level of control than without the wrappers.
Personally, I've been using xinetd in favor of inetd as it has that type of functionality/security already built in. _________________ -David |

edge's description of the functionality is correct, but it's not limited to things launched from inetd. Standalone network daemons can link against the tcpwrappers library and work the same way. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |
