hi all, [this is all on 3.2-RELEASE] i recently had some problems getting inetd tcp wrappers to do "the right thing". i tried a sample configuration where i allowed telnet explicitly: ALL : localhost : allow telnetd : ALL : allow ALL : ALL : deny unfortunately incoming telnet was still denied. at first i tried HUPping inetd to reread the hosts.allow, but after looking at the source it appears to re-read its information each time hosts_access is called. has anyone else had problems updating this file and getting inetd to reflect the new behavior? note that "tcpdmatch telnetd <client_host>" was reporting "access granted" and yet inetd was refusing the connection. killing inetd COMPLETELY and restarting inetd caused it to start accepting the connections. i'm looking at it a bit but perhaps a maintainer knows if something is being cached here? on another note, LIBWRAP_INTERNAL looks like it must be defined for internal services to be wrapped, yet it is not defined during freebsd's compile -- only LIBWRAP is. yet freebsd's inetd man page says that internal services may be wrapped. since it is not currently so by default, perhaps either the documentation or the Makefile should be modified? aaron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
