(this is a separate summary than the message I just sent regarding access
getting through the hosts.allow and hosts.deny)
Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry for the delay on summarizing... hacker
problems.
The tcpwrappers man page hosts_options covers this under "banners" and "twist"
(if tcpwrappers is compiled with the options extension installed)
some simplte examples... using twist:
hosts.deny: ALL: ALL: twist echo access from your host is denied
and using banners:
hosts.allow:
I'm still working on different messages for allow & deny, and possibility
of sending a special message if the host is in a list of "has-ssh" and
responding with "I know you have ssh, use it please instead of telnet"
Thanks
Dan
