xinetd – Odd errors and settings

[legacyb4]

I was playing around with the xinetd configuration as it appears that xinetd is compiled with support for libwrap.

While not as convoluted as using inetd, it looks like xinetd [b:a7205617e7]does[/b:a7205617e7] support use of the hosts.deny and hosts.allow pair of files that must be created inside the /etc directory.

Use of the two files creates a very tight system of access control lists which can shut you out of your machine if you aren’t careful.

While those work out okay, I noticed in the log that

Any idea why this error appears? There was a post about this earlier but no resolution… permissions all match and nothing else seems to be out of order.
