I searched the mailing list archives for anything recent on this, not much to read there, so I thought I'd try posting my own. With the late 3.x releases and the 4.0 (etc) release, inetd is built with tcp-wrappers support. I decided against using inetd and going with xinetd (I like it better) and compiling tcpd from /usr/src/contrib/tcp_wrappers and moved the bin to /usr/libexec Anyways, it's "working" as it were, but there's a issue I haven't been able to resolve yet, hosts.allow works but I get this error (couldn't find reference to it) with calling twist from a particular rule. Don't know about spawn (such as fingerd uses) as I don't use finger. xinetd was compiled from the ports (xinetd-2.1.8.8p2) with libwrap support: Apr 3 19:58:38 area51 xinetd[22326]: error: /etc/hosts.allow, line 68: twist option in resident process line 68 reads: : twist /bin/echo "You are not welcome to use %d from %h." my /etc/hosts.allow is a stock /usr/src/etc/hosts.allow I realize how feeble this sounds, but I don't understand the error message (and thus don't know where to begin to fix it) otherwise they work fine together. Anyone else encounter this or enlighten me as to what it's complaining about so I can go make it happy?
