Hi folks, Nice thing this tcp_wrapper. I'm using it for a while, now as many others of you. What about putting similar code into the accept(3) call. That would enable to administer an access contoll list for any incoming tcp connection. Might be applied to recvfrom(3) for udp connections as well. With that approach it would be possible that all the servers, which are not started by inetd will have this ACL feature as well. I don't think that I'm the first with this idea. So what speaks against such an approach? --- Caspar Arquint
