.SH NAME
|
|
tcpdchk \- tcp wrapper configuration checker
|
|
.SH SYNOPSYS
|
|
tcpdchk [-a] [-d] [-i inet_conf] [-v]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fItcpdchk\fR examines your tcp wrapper configuration and reports all
|
|
potential and real problems it can find. The program examines the
|
|
\fItcpd\fR access control files (by default, these are
|
|
\fI/etc/hosts.allow\fR and \fI/etc/hosts.deny\fR), and compares the
|
|
entries in these files against entries in the \fIinetd\fR or \fItlid\fR
|
|
network configuration files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fItcpdchk\fR reports problems such as non-existent pathnames; services
|
|
that appear in \fItcpd\fR access control rules, but are not controlled
|
|
by \fItcpd\fR; services that should not be wrapped; non-existent host
|
|
names or non-internet address forms; occurrences of host aliases
|
|
instead of official host names; hosts with a name/address conflict;
|
|
inappropriate use of wildcard patterns; inappropriate use of NIS
|
|
netgroups or references to non-existent NIS netgroups; references to
|
|
non-existent options; invalid arguments to options; and so on.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Where possible, \fItcpdchk\fR provides a helpful suggestion to fix the
|
|
problem.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP -a
|
|
Report access control rules that permit access without an explicit
|
|
ALLOW keyword. This applies only when the extended access control
|
|
language is enabled (build with -DPROCESS_OPTIONS).
|
|
.IP -d
|
|
Examine \fIhosts.allow\fR and \fIhosts.deny\fR files in the current
|
|
directory instead of the default ones.
|
|
.IP "-i inet_conf"
|
|
Specify this option when \fItcpdchk\fR is unable to find your
|
|
\fIinetd.conf\fR or \fItlid.conf\fR network configuration file, or when
|
|
you suspect that the program uses the wrong one.
|
|
.IP -v
|
|
Display the contents of each access control rule. Daemon lists, client
|
|
lists, shell commands and options are shown in a pretty-printed format;
|
|
this makes it easier for you to spot any discrepancies between what you
|
|
want and what the program understands.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default locations of the \fItcpd\fR access control tables are:
|
|
.PP
|
|
/etc/hosts.allow
|
|
.br
|
|
/etc/hosts.deny
|
