Inetd reads inetd.conf on startup and on SIGHUP. The hosts_access() check checks the hosts.allow file on each call. > i'm looking at it a bit but perhaps a maintainer knows if something is > being cached here? The bug that caused inetd to corrupt config on SIGHUP was fixed in rev 1.50 of inetd.c, which has not yet been merged to STABLE. In STABLE, LIBWRAP_INTERNAL is not default yet. In CURRENT, it is. You can expect the internal wrapping fixes and the SIGHUP bugfix to be merged back to STABLE soon (within a week). I'm in no rush, and I'm glad I didn't rush, since David Malone has already uncovered a bug in the handling of maxchild, which I believe is worth fixing before the merge. :-) Later, Sheldon.
