Hello, The manpage of HOSTS_ACCESS has a section called "BOOBY TRAPS" which describes how to automatically to do a finger on a machine which is denied network via /etc/hosts.deny, and mail its output to root.
I'm attmpting to set this up so that any telnet request from outside my lan is denied and the output of a finger on the offending machine is sent to me. Here are my access files: /etc/hosts.deny:i # next line is "booby trap" for denied telnet requests in.telnetd: ALL: (/usr/bin/finger -l @%h | /usr/bin/mail -s %d-%h root) & ALL: PARANOID ALL: ALL /etc/hosts.allow: ALL: LOCAL, .my-net, 192.168.1. Access seems to be denied (and granted) as I'd like it to be, but the "booby trap" doesn't seem to work. I copied the example in the manpage for HOSTS_ACCESS, changing the things specific for my network, but it just doesn't seem to do the finger and mail the output. Has anyone gotten this to work? TIA. -- David Karlin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
