TCP Wrappers on Solaris

Could someone either provide a link to the Solaris 8 forum

Or..

I have downloaded and installed (pkgadd) tcp_wrappers-7.6-sol8-sparc-local.gz for Solaris 8 SPARC

from sunfreeware

I used the advanced option as per this pkg instructions

I am getting the following in syslog:

"refused connect from 0.0.0.0"

and at the commandline for

telnet myhost

I get:

Connection closed by foreign host

The /etc/hosts.deny has: ALL: ALL

the /etc/hosts.allow has: in.telnetd: 100.100. (shortned IP address for the subnet)

and ALL: 127.0.0.1

I am using a space between the in.telnetd: and the ip address not a tab.

The /etc/inet/inetd.conf looks like this:

"telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd in.telnetd"

default is IPv4

Thanks for your help

Hey Farmboy,The package listed in the post is not for IPv6. The package installed is IPv4. Try to remove the "6" from"telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd in.telnetd"line of /etc/inetd.conf and restart inetd.

Thanks ... much appreciated...

It worked...

The reason I did not do this is because the inetd.conf says that tcp6 is supported for telnet and when I installed this system many years ago (Boy do I remember, it was just after Bossy our cow had a new... ) i selected IPv4..

Lesson learned!

Thanks

An IPv6 version is also available from sunfreeware if it is needed. Read the entire paragraph and it is listed at the bottom.This will teach you to put the cow before the horse....Enjoy!
