Hi folks, The patches on PR 12097 that deal with fixing inetd's handling of tcp_wrapper support do _not_ enable wrapping of UDP services. David Malone and I are busy working on a patch for doing so, but I have a question that I probably should have asked when we started.
Is there any point in wrapping UDP services (identified as "dgram udp" services in inetd.conf)? Since they're all single-threaded, using the wait option, any successful connection opens up a rolling period during which any further connections will not be wrapped (hence the word rolling). So what's the point? Obviously, if there's a real need for wrapping UDP services, we'll carry on grafting. Thanks, Sheldon.
