Yes, but why should I *have* to? The blacklist patch has been around for a few years now; it ADDS functionality to wrappers; and it should be a GIVEN that people use it. It takes _nothing_ away from the original format of wrappers, and adds ease of use. >However, in FreeBSD, most of the daemons you are interested >in are built with wrappers, a functionality not found in >the Linux implementations. For instance, inetd in 3.3 and >later is wrappers ready and you do not even need to refer to >the tcpd daemon. Most of the daemons? Yes, and *none* of them have the blacklist patch. Which means I can't simply re-compile inetd "only", but must compile *all* the daemons which I desire the blacklist patch to use. Once again, why hasn't this patch been installed? >As for host.deny, this file is no longer used in 3.3 and Incorrect. hosts.deny is not _required_, however it is certainly still fully functional and used if present. >later. If you have installed the tcp_wrappers port in 3.4, >you should remove the port and use the built in >functionality. Once again incorrect. If you are installing your *own* daemon, one of which isn't loaded via inetd, and you desire wrappers functionality, you must compile wrappers to gain access to libwrap.a. >*Gene Harris http://www.tetronsoftware.com* >*FreeBSD Novice * >On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Jim Pazarena wrote: >> To answer my own question: >> >> The wrappers which is built in to inetd on 3.4 does NOT have the blacklist >> patch (which was supplied by Wietse Venema the creator of wrappers). >> >> This makes the utilization of wrappers within inetd less than ideal. >> Can anyone confirm if this patch will be applied in any future version >> of FreeBSD? 3.5 perhaps? >> >> ----------------------------------- >> >> From: Jim Pazarena <paz@ccstores.com> >> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 14:38:02 -0800 (PST) >> >> >Subject: Re: inetd with wrappers built-in >> >Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 21:01:38 +0000 >> >From: George Cox <gjvc@extremis.demon.co.uk> >> >> >On 24/01 10:02, Jim Pazarena wrote: >> >> >> Can anyone confirm yay/nay if the wrappers which is built-in >> >> to the inetd on 3.4 has the blacklist patch compiled into it? >> >> >You sound like you mean the RBL "Real-time blackhole list" spam filter. >> >Any filtering inetd does is based on the IP address of the connecting host. >> >It is up to an application level process to filter content. >> -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
