tcpd -> FreeBSD

morbo · 01-17-2003, 01:29 PM

I tried to install tcpd (i dont see it in any of my dirs) from /usr/shared/ports/security/tcp_wrapper

And I got the following error:
"tcp_wrappers-7.6_1 is forbidden: tcp_wrappers is in the base system"

So I edit the make file and remove the FORBIDDEN line, and it all appears to have installed correctly (no errors) but I still cannot find my tcpd anywhere on the system. Has anyone successfully installed tcpd? I need it to get glftpd to work properly....

tcp_wrappers is started from inetd
you can manually start it as root

#inetd

for tcp_wrappers

#inetd -wW

w=wrappers for external services
W=wrappers for internal services both as per hosts.allow

Alternatively inetd can be started in /etc/rc.conf
I beleive the default flags enable tcp_wrappers.

inetd is part of the default system thus
"tcp_wrappers is in the base system"

mna inetd
