The wrappers report the name of the remote host and of the +requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information with the +remote client process, and impose no overhead on the actual +communication between the client and server applications. + +Optional features are: access control to restrict what systems can +connect to your network daemons; remote user name lookups with the RFC +931 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. |
