From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: Even if htt_server runs without the tcp socket, it gets 'Denied the access from localhost.' when the applications is realized. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add ALL:ALL into /etc/hosts.deny 2.restart htt_server 3.run any applications Actual Results: Denied the access from localhost. Expected Results: the applications should be allowed to connect to. Additional info: This problem happens because htt_server *always* ask tcp_wrapper whether or not the host is allowed to connect to. but tcp_wrapper isn't needed for the unix domain socket anyway.
Created attachment 107708 [details] backported patch from upstream
Customers will always have a secure configuration and it may block iiimf access even iiimf is unix domain by default. The patch is very small and low risk.
It is built in -10.EL now
Confirm fixed in im-sdk-12.1-10.EL. Thanks.
