Description:
The syntax for hosts.allow has changed again. The man page is now incorrect, using the example syntax presented there will result in connections being refused. Steps to reproduce: - Have a hosts.allow file that calls a shell command. - pacman -Syu - Try to ssh into your machine. Fix: - Please add to the man page that you now need the word 'spawn' before any shell commands. Rant: This is the third time tcp_wrappers has had an unannounced syntax change over the last few years, by my count. Fortunately this time I noticed it while I was still at home; the previous two times I was out in the field and had to make a trek home to fix it. |
This task depends upon

This is (now) documented in the hosts_options man page.
