Ah, okay. Sorry, I'm not very coherent with shells :-(
However, I've tried this in another way (export
TCPREMOTEIP=203.34.190.170), in a previous post.

I have now:
# export TCPREMOTEIP=203.34.190.170
# echo $TCPREMOTEIP
203.34.190.170
# export TCPREMOTEHOST=fornax.net
# echo $TCPREMOTEHOST
fornax.net
# export TCPREMOTEINFO=list
# echo $TCPREMOTEINFO
list
# /usr/local/bin/tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
default:
allow connection
Did I get that right? I'm hope that's what $TCPREMOTEHOST and
$TCPREMOTEINFO should be.
