What is required to compile ypserv with tcp wrapper support ? Is it just to define TCP_WRAPPER while compiling ? I've tried this; it completes successfully. I didn't notice any -lwrap commands in the make output though. I would think that in order to use functions from the TCP wrappers library, one would have to link libwrap.a or libwrap.so, wouldn't they ? Using this switch seems only to centralize your host access into the same file as the rest of your TCP wrapper-protected service; it doesn't seem to do the forward/reverse DNS checks that TCP wrappers are primarily used for. Has anyone hacked this into ypserv ? Would it not make ypserv even more secure for use on a 'public' wire ? -- j.
