Yes, an interesting discussion. Almost seems like we need to do an empirical study. Vince said: > To get tcp-wrapper support for an application, you either add the > checks directly to the application or run a process that has been > compiled with libwrap to perform the host checks before handing

I'll be calling Think Tech Radio this afternoon at 5:01 to promote TPOSSCON. 89.3 on your dial. I want to be meaty in my approach, so I am looking for metrics like the recent 35 billion IDC number. If you have some good tidbits you want to hear me include, please reply in thread ASAP. --s

If you know the IP addresses of the machines that you'll be SSHing from...it's best to compile your version of SSH to support tcp_wrappers and configure your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files to only allow SSH access from your know IP addresses. This also helps cut down on those irritatin
