Does anyone actually have the 'booby trap' in tcpd hosts.deny working?
The man page for hosts_access has a long description of something to
finger the offending host and mail it to the user. This gives me
a bad option or format.
The man page says the format is
Daemon_list: client_list [ : shell_command ]
however though
ALL: ALL
works,
ALL: ALL: /bin/true
fails (as does, as far as I can see, any command) with 'bad option' or
equivalent. tcpwrapper 6.3, Slackware (latest), Kernel 1.2.8 bog standard
system.
Any pointers gratefully appreciated.
