- This is munetd a version of inetd with rpc capabilities. It has
- incoorporated (by myself) Rick Sladkeys latest signal patches.
-
- The main difference is that I have included support for host authentication.
- It actually uses the tcpd package for this. However do not be afraid. It
- will work exactly the same way as the standard /etc/inetd and infact reads
- /etc/inetd.conf as is. If however you create the auxillary files
- /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny then access of specific services may
- be setup to specific domains or machines, and logging of all failed/allowed
- requests are logged to syslog (read the manpages for setup of hosts.allow
- and hosts.deny). It also conforms to RFC931 (if a site is running it)
-
- Use the precompiled munetd binary instead of /etc/inetd (you may replace it
- - but make a backup of the original inetd please). Recompile if you want it
- to log to a different log facility or want to remove RFC931 logging.
-
- I would be grateful to hear of any bugs...
