Hi! I am a bit confused about tcp-wrapping the sshd. On my 3.4-STABLE machine sshd1 (port) ignores instructions in hosts.allow. This seemed ok to me since it says in hosts.allow: # Wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea and I assumed that sshd is not wrapped. Now I see that 'ldd sshd' gives: libwrap.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libwrap.so.7 (0x280a4000) so why doesn't it obey hosts.allow? On the other hand, my new 4.0-STABLE sshd (part of a base system) is tcp-wrapped by default and obeys hosts.allow, although there still stands that "wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea." (And why is it not a good idea?) Could somebody clarify this situation? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Kresimir Kumericki kkumer@phy.hr http://www.phy.hr/~kkumer/ Theoretical Physics Department, University of Zagreb, Croatia ------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
