Greeting all: I'm having trouble referencing external files for ALLOW or DENY statements in /etc/hosts.allow on Trustix.
For example, to explicitly allow certain IP's, I've created a file called sshd.hosts. Then, in /etc/hosts.allow, I have the following: sshd: /etc/sshd.hosts : ALLOW After restarting ssh, /var/log/messages reports: Aug 9 11:42:43 cp sshd[4181]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 12: bad net/mask expression: /etc/sshd.hosts Similarly, I have an explicit deny file called /var/log/port.denial.log and the following in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL : /var/log/port.denial.log : DENY which results in the same warning shown above. I've used this syntax successfully on dozens of Redhat machines in the past. Anyone know if external files can be used in /etc/hosts.allow on Trustix? Thank you. ----------------------------------------------- Christopher Walck, Junior Server Administrator Support and Customer Care Department Dynamic Net, Inc. and We Manage Servers Providing Server Management and Security Services 420 Park Road; Suite 201 Wyomissing PA 19610 Toll Free Voice: 1-888-691-9287 International: 1-610-288-1736 FAX: 1-610-736-3798 Company Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.wemanageservers.com/ ----------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
