Hi im using xinetd to host my services, and i was wondering are hosts.allow hosts.deny files only used by inetd ?, i know that xinetd has it's own built in tcpwrappers using syntax like only_from = 0.0.0.0 and no_access = 0.0.0.0 , i was just wondering if i would still have to implament this into hosts.allow and hosts.deny
Typically only services in inetd services are wrapped (and you usually have to configure inetd to wrap those services); however, you can often times compile in the ability to use tcpwrappers in other packages (for example openssh). You will have to check the documentation of whatever service you are trying to run and whether or not tcpwrappers are a configuration issue.

If you are running linux, you may be better off running iptables.

FYI- PortSentry is now owned by Cisco and I don't believe they offer it for download.Quote:
