If the OOB sendmail is linked against libwrap :but the default config files cause sendmail to behave exactly as it :does without wrappers, is that OK? Or do you object to it being linked :against libwrap in the first place? libwrap is ok, at least to a point. I've seen people throw in the kitchen sink using tcp wrappers and create more problems for their systems then they've solved. It is fairly easy, for example, to attack a system running tcp wrappers which does reverse-ident authentication. I don't mind something like sendmail doing it - I think that's a good feature, but some people just go completely bonkers with tcp wrappers. -Matt Matthew Dillon :As far as inetd is concerned (with the current inetd/tcpd model) :that folks will wish to choose, and so propose that the default :inetd.conf has entries for wrapped daemons in addition to unwrapped :(commented out, of course) for reference. : :OOB config file should have a -load of examples with :POLA-type defaults. : :M :-- :Mark Murray :Join the anti-SPAM movement: http://www.cauce.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
