tcpdmatch command examples

tcpdmatch – tcp wrapper oracle

To predict how tcpd would handle a telnet request from the local system:

#tcpdmatch in.telnetd localhost

The same request, pretending that hostname lookup failed:

#tcpdmatch in.telnetd 127.0.0.1

To predict what tcpd would do when the client name does not match the client address:

#tcpdmatch in.telnetd paranoid

On some systems, daemon names have no `in.’ prefix, or tcpdmatch may need some help to locate the inetd configuration file.
