Also, on alot of linux distributions tcp-wrappers were installed by default, so therefore logged to a syslog file. On FreeBSD however, you have to install these yourself. it should be in the ports collections somewhere, you need to read the install instructions very carefully however, as you need to add some things to /etc/inetd.conf or replace your original daemon binaries. ___________________________________________________________________________ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ On Mon, 22 Jun 1998, Jeremy Shaffner wrote: > On Sun, 21 Jun 1998, Brendan Kosowski wrote: > > > > > I was a Linux user but have now changed to FreeBSD.
