the "ftp" at the beginning of the line is the service name as defined in /etc/services...I think someone else already stated that.
the "daemon" name or service name to use in your allow/deny files in your case is "in.ftpd". try it again with "in.ftpd" and i'll bet you a brew it'll work! (sam adams please!) whatever "daemon" name is listing in /etc/inetd.conf should be used in the allow/deny files. so, you'll also have to add "in.ftpd" to your hosts.allow file. robt Jeff Weatherford wrote: > > ok...now i'm even more confused...here is what they say... > > first of all...a line from my inetd.conf: > #:STANDARD: These are standard services. > ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd > /usr/sbin/in.ftpd > > now, tcpdmatch says that there is no process called "ftp in that file... > > # tcpdmatch ftp 127.0.0.1 > warning: ftp: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf > client: address 127.0.0.1 > server: process ftp > matched: /etc/hosts.deny line 15 > option: spawn (mail -s "ftp access attempt from 127.0.0.1" </dev/null) & > access: denied > > and: > # tcpdchk -v > ... > daemons: ftp > clients: .mydomain.com > access: granted > ... > (where mydomain is substituded for my real domain name) > > odd eh? > > -jeff > > At 05:58 PM 1/23/01 -0800, you wrote: > >If you don't want inetd to start a service, comment them out of inetd.conf. > > > >Also tcp wrappers comes with 2 tools...tcpdchk and tcpdmatch. > > > >use them to test and to list your deny/allow policies, respectively, as > >follows: > > > >tcpdmatch <daemon> 127.0.0.1 > >tcpchk -v > > > >hope this helps! > > > >robt > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
