Re: Using wrappers w/ssh

Thanks to everyone who replied to my first post. I went ahead and 
installed it on my test machine,
this is  AIX 5.1, with the only config parameter being  
--with-tcp-wrappers. It seemed to configure,
compile and install without a problem, as did the 4 or 5 or 6 included 
verification modules.  I'm probably making a
conceptual mistake here, but I've tried using both methods to run it- 
(1) changing inetd to point to tcpd
instead of the original routine and (2) moving the real routines 
(ftpd...etc.) into another sub directory
and replacing them with renamed tcpd modules. Regardless of the method 
or restrictions in hosts.deny
it grants access to anyone and any service. At least it's not picky. I 
finally set hosts.deny to deny anything
to anyone and it still grants all services to anyone. But running 
tcpdmatch and/or tcpdchk yields the correct
action/information. I thought maybe it was picking up an obscure module 
maybe from a different folder
so I tried renaming/removing tcpd. This resulted in a failed connection 
so at least it's sending packets to
the right place and, using the correct code. It acts as if  it's not 
seeing hosts.deny. The permissions look ok on this,
so it just grants access.  Is there a way to find out what's going on 
here? Where am I going wrong?

tks,
Bill Edison
