TCP_Wrappers on solaris 8

[fitzy]

I have recently installed SSH and TCP-Wrappers on a solaris 8 box (SUN Ultra 60). I have suceccesfully got SSH running and have TCP_Wrappers successufuly logging all attempted conections to (Telnet,FTP,RLOGIN,RSH,netstat,tftp..etc..etc); I have edited /etc/INETD.conf to look like the following:

telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd* in.telnetd
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd* in.ftpd

*where tcpd has wrapped the service

Here is the problem, it successfully logs the attempts to the service in /var/log/syslog, however it refuses the connection when it should be allowing it. I have created a /etc/hosts.allow (ALL: local networks) and a /etc/hosts.deny. (ALL: ALL)I know it is a problem with the TCP_Wrappers. Can any one help?

what version of Tcpwrappers did you install?

Tcp wrapper for Solaris 8 should contains support for IPv6.
if the installed tcpwrapper does not support ipv6
you could either download tcp_wrappers_7.6-ipv6.tar.gz
this soucre code support ipv6 or modify your inetd.conf
without ipv6 support this is

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd* in.telnetd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd* in.ftpd

finally issued kill -HUP (inetd process id)

Please post back
