how to install and run tcp wrapper

[Kenn Chen]

any idea to install and run the tcp wrapper in HPux 11.0 ??

[Rainer von Bongartz · Accepted solution]

you should download tcp wrapper from anywhere on the internet; installtion instructions are straightforward and working for 11.0

Then you should edit your /etc/inetd.conf file for the
services you want to wrap
i.e. for ftp change the default line

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd -l
to something like

ftp stream tcp nowait root /etc/tcpd /usr/lbin/ftpd -l

The set up a new file /etc/hosts.allow and specify which hosts is allowed to do ftp
i.e.
ftpd: foo.mycomp.com ,bar.mycomp.com
