Ok,

    I Have read this article, and this one too:
http://www.freebsddiary.com/freebsd/tcpwrapper.htm but it says in here that
in FreeBSD 3.2 Release, tcp wrappers are built in the system, and it says
that I dont have to modify the /etc/inetd.conf file for it to work, its that
true???, also I have modified the /etc/hosts.allow file in my server, and I
have received already a logged message that says:

Aug 25 03:37:05 unix inetd[82105]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 13: can't
verify hostname: gethostbyname(customer18-197.telmex.net.mx) failed

But doesnt work.

Grabbed directly from the FreeBSD 3.2 RELEASE Notes
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.2R/notes.html :

TCP Wrappers is now part of the base system.  inetd, the port mapper,
and sendmail are now linked agaist libwrap.  The "PROCESS_OPTIONS"
syntax is the default.  Note that you do not need to use tcpd in
/etc/inetd.conf.  See `man 5 hosts_options' and `man 8 inetd` for
more information.

I really want to know how to enable this without to install the port, and
without to use tdpd in /etc/inetd.conf, just like it says in the Release
Notes of FreeBSD 3.2.

Thanks in Advance

Ales
