-
- This is the 6.3 version of the TCP/IP daemon wrapper package. Release
- 6.2 was cancelled because of a significant source code contribution
- from Sequent.
-
- With these programs you can monitor and control who connects to your
- TFTP, EXEC, FTP, RSH, TELNET, RLOGIN, FINGER, and SYSTAT network
- services, and many others.
-
- The programs can be installed without any changes to existing software
- or configuration files. By default, they just log the remote host name
- and do some sanity checks on the origin of the request. No information
- is exchanged with the remote client process.
-
- Changes since release 6.1;
-
- - Portability: new Makefile rule sets for SCO and Pyramid OSx 5.1;
- improved TLI support for Dynix/PTX; fix for Ultrix core dumps.
-
- - Features: compile-time option (APPEND_DOT) for faster DNS lookup
- of already fully-qualified hostnames; a run-time option to enable
- keepalives (useful when users reset or turn off the PC while
- still connected), and an option to change the process nice value.
-
- Good news: Sun patch 100804-03 for SunOS 4.1.x fixes the problem with
- the anti source-routing attack feature.
-
- The libwrap.a code should be binary compatible with release 6.1.
