Maybe 3.x users actually want tcpd too. I'm running -STABLE, and qmail, and discovered that tcp_wrappers was somehow part of the system when things started misbehaving. Oddly, tcpd itself is _not_ built by the system, it seems. The libwrap that is built (or at least the man page for tcpdchk) seems to think that the control files hosts.access and hosts.deny still live in /usr/local/etc/, rather than where you would expect a system component to put them: /etc. My current source of confusion is with the tcpd from ports, which doesn't mention what level it is syslogging at: I can't find any of it's log messages... -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
