RPC-based services being the most obvious, but also things like FTP or TFTP or VNC or X that don’t always have port numbers that are easily expressed… Then there’s filtering on DNS hostname suffixes, etc… NIS+ membership... I’m fine with seeing systemd being decoupled from them, but I’d like to see legacy services continue to work with tcpwrappers (libwrap). -Philip
