Description Michael Redinger 2000-08-12 12:22:49 UTC
tcpdchk and tcpdmatch still depend on inetd.conf, don't work with xinetd.

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2000-08-13 20:09:14 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Gold-release.
The entire transformation from inetd.conf -> xinetd must be done for the
release.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2000-08-14 17:50:34 UTC
Fixed (by removing tcpdchk/tcpdmatch) in tcp_wrappers-7.4-15.

Better fix would be to rewrite tcpdchk/tcpdmatch in perl/python, however.

Comment 3 R P Herrold 2001-02-18 00:04:23 UTC
from redhat-devel today:

> Whats tcpdchk ? Dont have it and locate finds nothing.... (part of
> tcp_wrappers ? rpm -qil doesn't show it)...
 
[herrold@swampfox herrold]$ rpm -qf `which tcpdchk`
tcp_wrappers-7.6-9
 
... uggh -- you've found a problem in the beta ... I'll verify
and file a bugzilla  -- they've omitted tcpdchk, looks like
...                                                                  

--------------------------------

Rationale:

Oops.  tcpdchk does NOT use inetd.conf -- it uses /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny,
and friends in DNS.  

It is truly needed for auditting wrappers ...

Plase reverse this omission...  I suggest that this is MUST FIX for 7.1 gold ...

Comment 4 R P Herrold 2001-02-18 00:24:46 UTC
oopps -- my mistake -- typing before thinking all the way through -- 

I'll file a separate RFE for a tcpdchk like replacement, and do some coding.
