The /etc/hosts.deny
file is a configuration
file for the /usr/sbin/tcpd
program. The
hosts.deny
file contains entries for the rules
defining which hosts will NOT be allowed access to a service on your
machine.
The default in LEAF is:
# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the system. # See hosts_access(5) and /usr/doc/net/portmapper.txt # # Example: ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain # ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain # # The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its # address. ALL: PARANOID # Prevent all access not explicitly allowed in hosts.allow ALL: ALL
