- Subject: Re: Modified Inetd
-
- We also have a modified version of the inetd available as a source patch to
- the standard BSD 4.3-Reno inetd source. Unfortunately this cannot support
- rpc services, I would however be happy to update it when I can obtain an
- inetd with rpc.
-
- The server reads a configuration file containing lines of the form:
-
- ajax.rsre.mod.uk finger/tcp, talk/udp
- rsre.mod.uk smtp/tcp
-
- Where the first component contains a host name (in DNS format) or a partial
- domain specification (such as rsre.mod.uk). This has the advantage of allowing
- services to be permitted on domain/administrative boundaries rather than on
- physical ip addresses.
-
- Development is still under way, but the initial implementation has proved
- useful and is used to filter most of our incoming services.
-
- The daemon also logs all incoming service requests indicating the source IP
- address of denied service requests.
-
- I can send the source patch to any interested parties.
