Hi, I''m running into something weird here. I''m using RH5.1 with tcp_wrappers 7.6. The syntax for hosts.allow and hosts.deny is: <service list> : <access list> [ : <shell_command> ] Everything works when I _don''t_ use the shell_command. I used the _exact_ line as in the man-pages utilising "safe_finger" (comes with tcp_wrappers), tcpdchk

hey folks, I keep seeing this on the internet "The user name lookup feature of TCP Wrappers uses identd to identify the username of the remote host. By default, this feature is disabled, as identd may appear hung when there are a large number of TCP connections." but I cant seem to find out how/where to enable said feature. Jason

It is rare for systems to support RFC 931 and common for firewalls to drop requests (creating long delays in connections), so user name lookup is probably only useful within a private network of systems that you control, on which you have enabled identd on each client system.

Greetings everyone.... I tried posting this once before, but got no response. When I run liveice, I get an "Error:sending data to remote server message" from liveice, and then it hangs (I actually have to open another console window to kill the process). The IceCast server respond with the following: Kicking source 1 [127.0.0.1] [Access Denied (tcp wrappers (source connection))]

I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file of ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped? I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall drops, and I don't want to compile with wrappers *if* dovecot has an easy ability to do this. If dovecot could parse a flat text file of

...t;hosts.access" (I think!), and hosts.{allow,deny} don;t : function. But it doesn't look like it's compiled that way : (-DPROCESS_OPTIONS)... I think tcp_wrappers 7.6 was built using -DPROCESS_OPTIONS. At least the "twist" keyword works for me in hosts.{allow,deny} (see the hosts_options(5) manpage). I don't know anything about the hosts.access file, though. When we are on this topic, I am still having problems with the "setenv" keyword in the hosts.{allow,deny}. It simply does not work for me. I have tried to use the "setenv" keyword for qmail's incom...
