hey all, albeit my fault if there is a ucspi mailing list, but:

i've been trying to figure out how with tcpd (tcp wrappers) to get
something to bind to a particular interface, but since i've had no luck
with that, i figured i'd try tcpserver (since it is a replacement).

anyway, i'm trying to replace this entry in /etc/inetd.conf:

 shell  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.rshd

with this:

 tcpserver -v -u0 -g0 206.96.248.4 shell /usr/sbin/in.rshd 

and it starts, and seems to work, so from another box i type:

 (14:17:02)(root@simba)(~)# rsh katanga cat /etc/hosts
 27.0.0.1                localhost localhost.localdomain

weird? so i try something else:

 (14:23:38)(root@simba)(~)# rsh katanga /root/suspend pzn 
 Protocol error, katanga.safari.net closed connection

none the less, the command is executed. as far as the error, is there
something i'm doing wrong w/ tcpserver?

ps: no errors in the log either btw.

thanks,
-xs
