Quick question... couldn't find an answer in the archives. Is it possible
to selectively apply host.allow restrictions on processes (specifically
auth/ident) that are internal to inetd, and if so, what process name
applies?

I run 'inetd -Ww' in 3.4-STABLE and used to run an external identd with a
hosts.allow entry of:

identd : ALL : allow
[...]
ALL : ALL \
	: severity auth.info : spawn (/usr/bin/finger -l @%h | \
	 /usr/bin/mail -s "tcpd\: %u@%h[%a] tried to use %d  (denied)" root) & \
	: twist /bin/echo "You are not welcome to use %d from %h."

Which worked fine. When I changed the inetd.conf entry to run a
"real" internal identd, the auth/ident requests all got denied and
logged. do I have to go back to the external daemon in order to be able to
allow it?
