NFS with TCP Wrappers!

stakhous · 02-17-2005, 08:02 PM

Hello,

I am setting up a NFS server and I wanted to use hosts.allow and hosts.deny for protection.

However I need to run the nfs daemon inside tcp wrappers. From what Ive read, this can be easily done by editing /inetd.conf. However, I could not find out how to do this by editing xinetd.conf.

Does anyone have any advice or resources?

Thanks

My bad

You can do this with the following changes to hosts.allow/hosts.deny:
Notice the service daemon at the start of each line
#

# File: hosts.allow

#

ALL:�� 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

sshd:�� 172.16.1.1 216.10.119.244

httpd:� ALL

#

# File: hosts.deny

#

ALL:�� ALL
