tcpdmatch

Synopsis

tcpdmatch [options] daemon client

Description

TCP/IP command. Predict the TCP wrapper’s response to a specific request. You must specify which daemon the request is made to (the syntax may be daemon @ host for requests to remote machines) and the client from which the request originates (the syntax may be user @ client for a specific user or a wildcard). Consult /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to determine the TCP wrapper’s actions.

Options

-d

Consult ./hosts.allow and ./hosts.deny instead of /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.

-i conf-file

Specify location of inetd.conf or tlid.conf file. These are files that tcpdmatch automatically uses in its evaluation of TCP wrapper files.
