tcp_wrappers provides host-based access restrictions on tcp services:
facilities for monitoring and filtering incoming requests for the SSHD,
SYSTAT, FINGER, FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC, TFTP, TALK, and other
network services.
The package provides a tiny daemon wrapper program that can be installed
without any changes to existing software or to existing configuration
files. The wrappers report the name of the client host and of the
requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information with the
client or server applications, and impose no overhead on the actual
conversation between the client and server applications.
This is a routine update that adds a debuginfo package, and
supports cygwin64.
CHANGES (since 7.6-21)
========================
o Rely on cygport to autogenerate setup.hints
o Added debuginfo package
o First cygwin64 release
A reminder for package maintainers and developers:
STRONGSYMS: the cygwin versions of cygwrap-0.dll AND libwrap.a
(that is, both the DLL and static library) explicitly provide
int deny_severity
int allow_severity
symbols. This means that clients must NOT define their own
versions of these symbols, as is the practice on *nix systems.
Instead, clients should rely on the /declaration/ provided in
tcpd.h:
extern int deny_severity;
extern int allow_severity;
This may require code changes in clients that link against
libwrap, but it was a necessary API change to enable DLL
builds on cygwin.
