-
- Until recently, my TCP/IP daemon wrappers (log_tcp package) supported
- only the BSD-style socket programming interface. Meanwhile, more and
- more systems acquire System V features, whether we like them or not.
-
- For this reason I have added support for the System V.4-style TLI
- network programming interface. The same wrapper program can now be used
- both with socket-based and with TLI-based services. I have tested this
- with Solaris 2.2, and did not find any new problems.
-
- When internet protocols are being used underneath TLI, the wrapper
- provides the same functions as with socket-based services; with other
- transport protocols underneath TLI, the wrapper does a best effort to
- identify the remote system.
-
- However, I have no other SysV.4 clones to try things out. Early
- reports on DG/UX indicate that there are can be subtle differences in
- streams implementations.
-
- A preliminary version of the source is available from ftp.win.tue.nl as
- /pub/security/log_tcp_6.0alpha.shar.Z. I'd appreciate any feedback.
