I too would like to see this as part of the normal distribution, and to add tcp_wrappers support to programs such as openssh. I've had tcp_wrappers built under OpenPKG for quite a while, but it's an ugly kludge. The Makefiles and build procedures for the tcp_wrappers package could be cleaned up significantly in a good specfile. The build I've got includes RBL support with a patch I made locally to take of problems on bigendian machines. For those who might be interested, the one we're using is available on ftp.celestial.com. I suspect that my specfile file full of Caldera RPM macros since I haven't taken the time to clean this up as it's working for our internal use. ftp://ftp.celestial.com/private/SRPMS/tcp_wrappers-7.6-20020510.src.rpm Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
