Right, but my real question was why sendmail uses tcpwrappers but there is no property at all, and no mention in the man pages or docs.sun.com, at least that I can find. It appears that other services have some sort of property to configure, but I see nothing for sendmail If I hadn't run into mail not working, I would have never guessed. Seems like it ought to documented and configurable. Is it configurable? and if so how? - using SMF? TIA, =wb
