it seems that the built in tcpwrappers for 13.2 has not been built with
the " blacklist extension".
Which by Wietse Venema's definition:
"adds a new host pattern to the TCP Wrapper access control language.
Instead of a host name or address pattern, you can specify an external
/file/name with host name or address patterns. The feature can be used
recursively"
... "The /file/name extension makes it easy to blacklist bad sites, for
example, to block unwanted electronic mail when libwrap is linked into
sendmail. Adding hosts to a simple text file is much easier than having
to edit a more complex hosts.allow/deny file"
Can anyone confirm that this is indeed missing?
