Just for reference -- all of this is being done on DU v3.2, Alpha
2100. This procedure was enabled by changing security from base to
enhanced (via setup). Files to run to modify system settings and
users are in:
/usr/tcb/bin/XIsso
/usr/tcb/bin/XSysAdmin
Warning: This will disable all accounts and all users will have to
change their passwords if security changes is implemented.

Solution to this was to pick up tcp wrappers (
ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu)
and implement it. Tcp-wrappers has excellent logging and other features
as well.
