That's not the issue. Some program "doesn't work" and eventually it is solved by an issue with tcp wrappers. My point is to ask what benefits does it provide? How many untrusted users are on your network? How many systems on your network have servers facing the Internet? In those cases, iptables does a *much* more complete job of protecting your systems. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
