I have downloaded and installed the portmap replacement from
ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/ but I am unable to get it to work properly.
I compiled it with the libwrap.a from tcp_wrappers but when I look at the
syslog generated log file that is created after mounting a nfs mountpoint
from a remote system, it is reporting that portmap cannot open the
/etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny files, permission denied. Permissions
on /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are as follows:
-rw-r----- 1 root system 320 Jan 30 22:01 /etc/hosts.allow
-rw-r----- 1 root system 8 Dec 21 06:55 /etc/hosts.deny
I noticed that 'ps -ef' reports portmap running as daemon. The permissions
for the portmap executable are 755 owned by bin.bin. Do I have the wrong
permissions on the hosts.* files or is portmap wrongly configured to run as
daemon?
Thanks,
Allen
