Tcp wrappers configuration on HPUX 11.11 !

[Ivan Azuara]

Hi !

I have installed the tcp wrappers software in my hpux box. I'm triying to configure step by step, but didn´t find enough information for the configuration.

My intention is install this software in each Unix machine for monitoring the tcp activity. Exist some restrictions about the services defined in the /etc/services file with the execution of the tcp wrappers software ?.

Somebody have examples or technical documents for clear my doubts ?.

Thank's in advance

Okay, here's an example of remshd. You make the changes in /etc/inetd.conf.

Before tcp wrapper:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd remshd

After tcp wrapper of the same service:
shell stream tcp nowait /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/lbin/remshd

You might then make entries in /etc/hosts.allow or hosts.deny for hosts that would or would not be allowed the remshd services

e.g:

remshd: tom,dick,harry

I have been reading more about the tcp wrappers configuration and mention the existence of the "/etc/tcpd.conf" file, but i don´t have this file in my machine.

Where can i define this file for the tcp wrappers ?.

Where save the log files about the network activity ?. The only log file that mention is the syslog.log file.

Best regards
