Description Roman Rozinov 2006-04-11 22:44:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
sendmail-8.13.1-2 appears to be compiled with libwrap.so.0 due to the command
ldd /usr/sbin/sendmail.
However, after specifying ALL: ALL in hosts.deny, i am able to connect to
sendmail's port 25

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-8.13.1-2

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. specify ALL: ALL in hosts.deny
2. restart sendmail service
3. connect from another machine to port 25

  
Actual results:
connects every time

Expected results:
connection should be refused

sendmail rejects the mail after issuing the MAIL command, there is no need to
reject the whole connection. And it's not a tcp_wrappers bug neither.
Comment 3 Tomas Janousek 2007-04-06 12:42:00 UTC 
Can you confirm that it's ok so that I can close the report?
