>Description:
 >e 537: what tcpd
 tcpd:
          tcpd.c 1.10 96/02/11 17:01:32
          patchlevel 7.6 97/03/21 19:27:23
 
 /usr/sbin/tcpdmatch:
          tcpdmatch.c 1.5 96/02/11 17:01:36
          fakelog.c 1.3 94/12/28 17:42:21
          inetcf.c 1.7 97/02/12 02:13:23
          scaffold.c 1.6 97/03/21 19:27:24
 
 
 Description: 
 
 tcpd uses access control files in /usr/local/etc.  tcpdmatch (and tcpdchk)
 checks against files in /etc.
 
 
>How-To-Repeat:

create hosts.[allow|deny] in /etc.  run tcpdmatch against them, and watch
the rules be processed/listed correctly.  Then try exercising the rules via
tcpd.  No rules will be processed.

>Fix:
	
  Quick workaround is to symlink /usr/local/etc/hosts.[allow|deny] to /etc.
  Long-term fix would require changes to tcpd or tcpdmatch/tcpdchk.
