I think Bruce is confused. At best there are typos in the above statement that until are fixed, the above cannot be deciphered. Bruce is indeed correct that TCP wrappers should not be a required dependency, it should be an optional dependency, but I cannot figure out what Bruce is trying to say. > tcpwrappers Configuration > > If you enabled support for tcpwrappers (required by portmap) by creating > /etc/hosts.deny, ensure you have an entry in the /etc/hosts.allow file > for access from the portmap daemon that overrides any rules in the > /etc/hosts.deny file.

This is good, except the "If you enabled support for tcpwrappers (required by portmap) by creating /etc/hosts.deny" part. I'm starting to lean to think that Bruce is not aware that NFS-Utils looks for the libwrap library and links it into the build. I'm thinking he only looks as libwrap as something Portmap uses. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 22:58:00 up 32 days, 13:46, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
