hosts.deny Linux/Unix command

Published by admin under tcpwrappers

This tutorial was a great help when I was building my first tcpwrappers. When I first installed Linux on my machine, the whole subject of tcpwrappers seemed to me confusing. Several times I denied emai from reliable sources. But after I read this tutorial, the whole concept turned out to be very clear and powerful. Today I value tcpwrappers more than any Linux firewall (and firewalls let me down big time. But about it later). So if you are interested in protecting your server from unwelcome hosts, please, click here.
