Broken tcp_wrappers (resulting in selective relaying not working)

[Stephen Mills]

Hi,   Im running Redhat 5.1 on our main server here, and I read an article on the front page of qmail.org about hosts_options not compiled into tcp_wrappers which results in tcpserver not working properly and looking up the remote hosts IP address...It seems Redhat 5.1 and under has a broken tcp_wrappers   Ive been using qmail for over 2 years now, and Ive gotten selective relaying to work on Redhat 5.2/6.0/6.1 and Slackware boxes...   I have tried to recompile tcp_wrappers 7.6 with hosts_options installed but selective relaying still does not work, im copying the new "tcpd" file to inetd but it still doesnt work, ive also tried copying tcpd file from a Redhat 5.2 box that is working with selective relaying fine and no luck.....   My last resort is "upgrading" to Redhat 6.1 on the main server, but before doing so, maybe there is something Im not sure about.   So, can anyone identify what Im doing wrong with tcp_wrappers ? This has been an ongoing problem and Im yet to resolve it.   Any ideas would be great.   --Stephen
