I should have guessed that. Now I symlinked /etc/hosts.allow to /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow and it works fine. Thanks. That leaves only the question why is it stated in hosts.allow that "wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea." Maybe TCP wrappers before worked only with inetd and you don't want to start sshd from inetd because of key generation so this is some kind relic from that time or something? Just guessing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Kresimir Kumericki kkumer@phy.hr http://www.phy.hr/~kkumer/ Theoretical Physics Department, University of Zagreb, Croatia ------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
