I am trying to set up some semblence of security on my machine with linux.
(redhat 6.2) Unfortunately, I have run into a small problem and was hoping
someone might be able to help me with it. I would like to set up
hosts.allow and hosts.deny to send me an email whenever someone
telnets/ftps/etc... into my machine. After reading the man pages on
hosts.allow and tcpd I have come up with the following line in hosts.allow:
ALL: ALL: (/usr/sbin/wall test) &
Of course, this does not do anything but broadcast "test" to all of the
consoles, but it should have executed the command when i tried to telnet
into my machine, which it did not. Furthermore, it did not even allow me
into the machine using telnet. (when i commented out the "(/usr/sbin/wall
test) &" part it does let me in)
Can anyone tell me why my commands aren't being executed? I followed the
3rd example (Booby Traps) in the man pages for hosts.allow precisely and
can not figure out for the life of me, what is wrong.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
