Examples are given below. +.PP +The program examines the \fItcpd\fR access control tables (default +\fI/etc/hosts.allow\fR and \fI/etc/hosts.deny\fR) and prints its +conclusion. For maximal accuracy, it extracts additional information +from your \fIinetd\fR network configuration file. +.PP +When \fItcpdmatch\fR finds a match in the access control tables, it +identifies the matched rule. In addition, it displays the optional +shell commands or options in a pretty-printed format; this makes it +easier for you to spot any discrepancies between what you want and what +the program understands. +.SH ARGUMENTS +The following two arguments are always required: +.IP daemon +A daemon process name. Typically, the last component of a daemon +executable pathname. +.IP client +A host name or network address, or one of the `unknown\' or `paranoid\' +wildcard patterns. +.sp +When a client host name is specified, \fItcpdmatch\fR gives a +prediction for each address listed for that client. +.sp +When a client address is specified, \fItcpdmatch\fR predicts what +\fItcpd\fR would do when client name lookup fails. +.PP +Optional information specified with the \fIdaemon@server\fR form: +.IP server +A host name or network address, or one of the `unknown\' or `paranoid\' +wildcard patterns. The default server name is `unknown\'. +.PP +Optional information specified with the \fIuser@client\fR form: +.IP user +A client user identifier. Typically, a login name or a numeric userid. +The default user name is `unknown\'. +.SH OPTIONS +.IP -d +Examine \fIhosts.allow\fR and \fIhosts.deny\fR files in the current +directory instead of the default ones. +.IP "-i inet_conf" +Specify this option when \fItcpdmatch\fR is unable to find your +\fIinetd.conf\fR network configuration file, or when +you suspect that the program uses the wrong one. +.SH EXAMPLES +To predict how \fItcpd\fR would handle a telnet request from the local +system: +.sp +.ti +5 +tcpdmatch in.telnetd localhost +.PP +The same request, pretending that hostname lookup failed: +.sp +.ti +5 +tcpdmatch in.telnetd 127.0.0.1 +.PP +To predict what tcpd would do when the client name does not match the +client address: +.sp +.ti +5 +tcpdmatch in.telnetd paranoid +.PP +On some systems, daemon names have no `in.\' prefix, or \fItcpdmatch\fR +may need some help to locate the inetd configuration file. +.SH FILES +.PP +The default locations of the \fItcpd\fR access control tables are: +.PP +/etc/hosts.allow +.br +/etc/hosts.deny +.SH SEE ALSO +.na +.nf +tcpdchk(8), tcpd configuration checker +hosts_access(5), format of the tcpd access control tables. +hosts_options(5), format of the language extensions. +inetd.conf(5), format of the inetd control file. +.SH AUTHORS +.na +.nf +Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl), +Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, +Eindhoven University of Technology +Den Dolech 2, P.O.
