Hi there,

Have a look at the following URL for latest distribs:
ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/index.html

I compiled it with the HP's C/ANSI C package, but I suppose compiling it with gcc won't cause much trouble.

Hope this helps !

Best regards.

Fred.

Hi,
Just an "FYI" that HP provides a "built-in" inetd security feature, similar to TCP wrappers. Check out the inetd.sec man page and /var/adm/inetd.sec file for details.
Hope this helps,

The Inetd.sec provides the same allow or deny functionality, but the logging capability of tcp wrappers is better and more flexible than inetd.
Yes, you do need to compile the tcp wrappers.
