(which is a mass of examples with nearly no explanations) and the man

missing. One glaring example, in the man page, the single most commonly
used
the hosts_access man page:
ALLThe universal wildcard, always matches.
I can't figure out how to use /etc/hosts.allow. I'm not
sure if it is, or is not, affecting my rpcbind.
The man page for rpcbind suggests it should, and you can find out (again, from
the man page):

Someone else pointed out hosts_access(5). I just wanted to point out
that unless you did something to it, it's probably not. The file is

If it should and is broken I will submit a PR. If not I will look and

on another note, LIBWRAP_INTERNAL looks like it must be defined for
internal services to be wrapped, yet it is not defined during freebsd's
compile -- only LIBWRAP is. yet freebsd's inetd man page says that internal
