[...] ssh does (relatively) easily convert to TCP Wrappers, as do the latest Sendmails. While not everything works with TCP Wrappers, I'd encourage anyone thinking of writing a TCP-daemon to encorporate them. OTOH, I'd definitely use a firewall, too. ;-) Good network planning will tell you to have your web servers and other "public servers" in your DMZ and things you need private behind a firewall. But this is off-topic... On topic, I need to know what compilation options were used when compiling the TCP wrappers for the packages. I couldn't figure out (quickly) how to make the shared library (libwrap.so.7.6) from the standard src distribution. Thanks in advance. -- Chad Dubuque cdubuque@rrnet.com Fargo, N.D.
