TCPWrap-7.6.0.2.README
Mar 27, 1998

This archive contains a Rhapsody framework for tcp_wrappers.  With this
package you can monitor and filter incoming requests for the SYSTAT,
FINGER, FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC, TFTP, TALK, and other network
services The package provides tiny daemon wrapper programs that can
be installed without any changes to existing software or to existing
configuration files.  The wrappers report the name of the client host
and of the requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information
with the client or server applications, and impose no overhead on the
actual conversation between the client and server applications.

INSTALLATION

Unpack the archive
> gnutar xzvf TCPWrap-7.6.0.2-PI.b.tar.gz

Use installer.sh to install:
> installer.sh TCPWrap.pkg

It installs to /LocalLibrary/Frameworks.  This is the easiest place
to put it, and software built with this framework expects it to be
there.  Alternate locations are possible, only if you know what
you are doing and/or you don't mind playing with the Makefile in
the framework to change the default installation parameters.


NOTES

I configured this version of tcp_wrappers to use the LOG_AUTH
syslog facility (which varies from the default LOG_MAIL).

I cheated to make this framework.  It's not a TRUE framework built with
ProjectBuilder, but a homebrew concoction I've made to imitate the
real thing.  I just wanted a dylib version of the library, and this
is the result.

I cheated building this package.  The .tar.Z inside the pkg wrapper
is REALLY a .tar.gz archive, which makes this package much smaller.
The installer.sh doesn't mind, since it just pipes it to gzip and gnutar.


CHANGELOG

Mar 27, 1998 (port 2)
- try-from binary had dynamic linking problems and didn't work
  (multiple defs of _vsyslog).  Fixed.


Mar 5, 1998 (port 1)
- First attempt (Rhapsody)
- made safe_finger NOT link against TCPWrap dylib
  (doesn't need it anyway).  This link causes segfault
  on Rhapsody

Jan 26, 1998
- First attempt, using libwrap v7.6, named TCPWrap (ok?)
- Had to add -undefined warning for making
  dylib, because of missing symbols:
  __environ, _allow_severity, _deny_severity.
  It's ok, I think.  ???
