With the programs that come with this kit you can monitor incoming
requests for IP services such as TFTP, EXEC, FTP, RSH, TELNET, RLOGIN,
FINGER, SYSTAT, and many others.

Optional features are: access control based on pattern matching; remote
username lookup using the RFC 931 protocol; protection against attacks
from hosts that pretend to have someone elses name; protection against
attacks from hosts that pretend to have someone elses network address.

The programs can be installed without requiring any changes to existing
software or configuration files. By default, they just log the remote
host name and do some sanity checks on the origin the request. No
information is exchanged with the remote client process.

The most notable differences with respect to the previous release are:

    - Additional protection against attacks from hosts that pretend to
    have someone elses network address. For example, the address of a
    trusted host within your own network.

    - The access control language has been extended with a simple but
    powerful operator that greatly simplifies the design of rule sets
    (ALL: .foo.edu EXCEPT dialup.foo.edu). Blank lines are permitted,
    and long lines can be continued with backslash-newline.

    - All configurable stuff, including path names, has been moved into
    the Makefile so that you no longer have to hack source code to just
    configure the programs.

    - Ported to Solaris 2. TLI-based applications not yet supported.
    Several workarounds for System V bugs.

    - A small loophole in the netgroup lookup code was closed, and the
    remote username lookup code was made more portable.

    - Still more documentation. The README file now provides tutorial
    sections with introductions to client, server, inetd and syslogd.

With the exception of source routed connections, the default mode of
operation should be backwards compatible with earlier versions.
