From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: I`m running an NFS server. The man pages of rpc.statd state that it is protected by tcp_wrapper. This can not be true, as telnet`ing on it`s port works, from anywhere, independent of the hosts.allow and hosts.deny settings. I think the same is true for rpc.lockd and rpc.mountd. rpc.rquotad on the other hand is protected by tcp_wrapper. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make entry in /etc/hosts.deny (ALL: ALL or statd: ALL) 2. check with `rpcinfo -p` on which port it is running (ex. 100024 1 tcp 32828 status) 3. telnet host 32828 Actual Results: the host accepts a telnet connection on that port Expected Results: the host should deny telnet on that port and create a log entry (when using "ALL: ALL: spawn /bin/echo `date` %c %d >> /var/log/tcpwrap.denials" in /etc/hosts.deny) Additional info: It`s a plain RH73 installation, the latest erratas installed (kernel 2.4.18-5, too).
Still no trace of libwrap in RHL 9 when doing 'ldd rpc.statd'
Forgot to add Cc
(although report is correct note that services are compiled statically against libwrap so won't show up with ldd). Reassigning to Steve.
FYI: I'm using version 1.0.3 of nfs-utils now, I noticed a difference: mounting would no longer work on the clients unless I add a line "mountd: 192.168." in /etc/hosts.allow on the server. I've built the RPM with 'rpm -ta nfs-utils-1.0.3.tar.gz'.
