This is HPUX only and is for 11i.

I'm sure there is a port of tcp wrappers for AIX

for AIX I tend to use:

You should get the source from the guy who built the wrappers. (You at least get the latest version, and you can install to whatever OS you like.) You can find it at ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/index.html He also has some security papers and the other tools he built located there. (SATAN, tcp WRapppers, portmap, etc.) I found a couple little issues with the installs, but the answers are in his FAQ located on the site.

Idris,
Yes you can run TCP Wrappers on AIX. Just make sure you have a good gcc compiler. If you want stuff like ssh to run through TCP Wrappers make sure you have the libwrap.a file and compile it it.

Hi Idris,


tcp wrappers is provided by HP but with no support.

You can get both binaries and the information here.
