What to write in a secure hosts.allow file? Please advise

2007-01-12 Thread VeeJay

This is a sample file... What to REMOVE and What to ADD or KEEP?

# cat /etc/hosts.allow
#
# hosts.allow access control file for tcp wrapped applications.
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.allow,v 1.19.8.1 2006/02/19 14:57:01 ume Exp $
#
# NOTE: The hosts.deny file is deprecated.
#   Place both 'allow' and 'deny' rules in the hosts.allow file.
#   See hosts_options(5) for the format of this file.
#   hosts_access(5) no longer fully applies.

# Start by allowing everything (this prevents the rest of the file

# Protect against simple DNS spoofing attacks by checking that the
# forward and reverse records for the remote host match. If a mismatch
# occurs, access is denied, and any positive ident response within
# 20 seconds is logged. No protection is afforded against DNS poisoning,
# IP spoofing or more complicated attacks. Hosts with no reverse DNS
# pass this rule.
ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny

# Allow anything from localhost.  Note that an IP address (not a host
# name) *MUST* be specified for rpcbind(8).

# Comment out next line if you build libwrap with NO_INET6=yes.
ALL : [::1] : allow
ALL : my.machine.example.com 192.0.2.35 : allow

# To use IPv6 addresses you must enclose them in []'s

Uhm...

a) Why did you include the example file?
b) Didn't you understand the examples?

I think you need to sit down with a Unix book and figure out what's
going on..
