it seems that the built in tcpwrappers for 13.2 has not been built with the " blacklist extension". Which by Wietse Venema's definition: "adds a new host pattern to the TCP Wrapper access control language. Instead of a host name or address pattern, you can specify an external /file/name with host name or address patterns. The feature can be used recursively" ... "The /file/name extension makes it easy to blacklist bad sites, for example, to block unwanted electronic mail when libwrap is linked into sendmail. Adding hosts to a simple text file is much easier than having to edit a more complex hosts.allow/deny file" Can anyone confirm that this is indeed missing? -- fquest@paz.bz Jim Pazarena
