Enhanced inetd Command

The inetd networking command has been enhanced to support the monitoring and filtering of incoming requests for network services. The server can be configured to log the client host name of incoming requests and thus enhance network security. The inetd command uses the same mechanism that is used by the Tcp-wrappers 7.6 utility. For information about Tcp-wrappers 7.6, see Freeware Enhancements.

For further information, see the inetd(1M), hosts_access(4), and hosts_options(4) man pages.
