Hi,

So, as you probably know sendmail uses tcpwrappers to manage
connections. (assuming that there is a hosts.[ allow | deny ] file)
Yet I can find no property in SMF to manage this, even though there
is such a property for rpc/bind and inetd. (and those are confusing
because one is "defaults" and the other "general")

# svcprop svc:/network/rpc/bind:default | grep wrap
config/enable_tcpwrappers boolean false
# svcprop svc:/network/inetd:default | grep wrap
defaults/tcp_wrappers boolean false
# svcprop svc:/network/smtp:sendmail | grep wrap
#
hmm....

Is there any method to our madness regarding tcpwrappers and how it
is implemented? 'man sendmail' makes no mention of tcp_wrappers and
actually I see nothing on doc.sun.com  for tcpwrappers except the
Solaris Security Toolkit 4.x Reference Manuals.

I know about 'man -s 5 hosts_access', but that doesn't tell me which
services are using it. At the very least there is some documentation
bugs here. (What product/category/subcategory should I use?)

TIA,
