In 4.x, wrapper support is by default compiled into the basic services (telnetd, ftpd, and I don't know what else). You don't need to modify inetd.conf; just edit /etc/hosts.allow > My collegue wants to run some service that requires that its tcpd-wrapped. > Could someone point me to the notes on howto with the current release > (4.x) - how do I use tcpd in 4.x??? > The man pages for this aren't as easy to find as they should be: man hosts_options man hosts_access If you need to wrap something that isn't wrapped by default, you'll need to dig a little deeper. I suspect it will involve either modifying the application to add wrapper support, or installing the /usr/ports/security/tcp_wrapper port. > Thanks > > - -Wash > Good luck, - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
