[alt.security] package to log tcp/ip connections

wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl (Wietse Venema) (01/10/91)

The following is taken from the blurb of a posting that recently
appeared in the comp.sources.misc newsgroup (volume nr. v16i062):

This package provides a couple of tiny programs that log all requests
to connection-oriented tcp/ip services (examples: FINGER, SYSTAT, FTP,
TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC), with optional access control on the basis
of host (or domain) names and service names.

The programs are nothing but small front ends. By default, they just
log the remote host name and then invoke the real daemon. The programs
should not require any changes to existing software or configuration
files.

The optional access-control facility may be useful when, for whatever
reason, it is not possible to handle access control at a more suitable
level (such as an internet router).
