== Description ==

TCP/IP daemon wrapper package.  With this package you can monitor and filter incoming requests for the  SYSTAT, FINGER, FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC, TFTP, TALK, and other  network services.  The package provides tiny daemon wrapper programs that can be installed  without any changes to existing software or to existing configuration  files.  The wrappers report the name of the client host and of the  requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information with the  client or server applications, and impose no overhead on the actual  conversation between the client and server applications.  Optional features are: access control to restrict what systems can  connect to what network daemons; client user name lookups with the RFC  931 etc. protocol; additional protection against hosts that pretend to  have someone elses host name; additional protection against hosts that  pretend to have someone elses host address.
