I thought everything in xinetd was protected by tcp_wrappers I had xinetd setup to connect pop3, and it was working, then I added a client machine to hosts.deny and that machine could no longer collect its mail,, so I just assumed??? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Guntner Sent: Tuesday, 18 September 2001 1:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] How to use tcpd with xinetd? I want to use tcp_wrapper to provide an extra layer of control to those services which I allow, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. As an example, in my /etc/xinetd.d directory, for wu-ftpd, I changed the "server" line to read: server = /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd but all that does is give me an error message when someone tries to connect to the FTP port instead of allowing them access to FTP. So, how to I tell xinetd to run a connection through tcpd so that it can decide to simply log the connection and pass it on or slam the door in the face of the person trying to connect? The above format would work in the old /etc/inetd.conf file (modified for the correct syntax, of course). --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
