I have noticed some odd behavior with realvnc and VNC and tcp-wrappers. On one 
machine (linux rh8)
I have vnc -server-3.3.3r2-39.2 installed and on another vnc-4.0-1. VNC on the 
machine with version 
3 seems to appropriately respect access control lists designated in hosts.allow 
and hosts.deny,
while the machine with version 4 does not. I have looked at /etc/services, 
inetd.conf, hosts.allow, 
hosts.deny and files in xinetd.d and all appear to be the same on both 
machines. Also the machine
with version 4 appropriately denies telnet and ftp access as specified in the 
access control lists, 
while still allowing vnc sessions to proceed. So it apears that tcp-wrappers 
are functioning
appropriately on those machines- just not for vnc. There were no modifications 
made to the version
3 VNC programs.

Any thoughts? Is there some difference between version 3 and 4 that would lead 
to this?

thanks,
darren
