It is essential to configure it after a new installation, for any decent security, of course, along with the other security configuration basics, such as installing all security updates. If one neglects those things, good security tools in linux are worthless, and you WILL get hacked (but maybe not quite so quickly as with a certain dominant vendor's junk software).

Managed to get some of it configured too. Though it's mentioned in slakbook I needed to check out some manual references in section 5 and so far one in 8. That's version 1.30 I think and I have 7.6 but will have to do a little debugging before a make. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Robinson @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: blinux-list Well, knowing that xinetd had replaced most or all of the functionality of tcp_wrappers in recent Red Hat versions (but they still installed it by default, for some reason), I ran: rpm -q tcp_wrappers --whatrequires to find out what still uses it, and came up with nothing. Probably some server I haven't installed still needs it, or libwrap.a is needed to compile something. Anyway, as you have guessed by now, slackware probably uses xinetd too, thereby obsoleting tcp_wrappers. Alternatively, maybe slackware has a slightly different naming scheme for that package? Bottom line, look at the documentation for xinetd, assuming that is what slackware now uses, and see if you care any more about tcp_wrappers (probably not). Sorry about my error; hopefully you now have the info you need (look to xinetd for the replacement functionality).
