Okay, I give up :-)
I need to configure inetd/tcpd/whatever to setup an environment
variable before firing up an inet.conf - controlled service...
here are the settings:
# grep testport /etc/services
testport 8888/tcp
# grep testport /etc/inetd.conf
testport stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/printenv printenv
# cat /etc/hosts.allow
printenv : ALL : setenv DAMNENV yes : allow
ALL : ALL : allow
this is /var/qmail/bin/printenv for the curious:
------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl5
open ( LOG , ">>/var/tmp/tcp-env" ) or exit;
print LOG "-------------------------\n";
while (($key, $val) = each %ENV) {
print LOG "$key = $val\n";
}
------------------
and no, thers is no DAMNENV in its output...
having said that, if I change hosts.allow to be like this:
ALL : ALL : deny
all services promptly fall over, so it does seem to work.
tcpdchk -v says:
Using network configuration file: /etc/inetd.conf
>>> Rule /etc/hosts.allow line 1:
daemons: printenv
warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 1: printenv: service possibly not wrapped
clients: ALL
command: setenv DAMNENV yes : allow
access: granted
>>> Rule /etc/hosts.allow line 2:
daemons: ALL
clients: ALL
command: allow
access: granted
So, questions:
1. Is there anything else that needs "enabling" (does not seem so)
2. What does "service possibly not wrapped" mean ? exactly ?
3. Does hosts_options(5) apply or not ? (seems not to)
4. If, perchance, hosts_options(5) does not apply, why is it referred to
in the default /etc/hosts_allow ?
5. How do I fix this :-) ?
please cc: me on replies,
TIA. Kiril
