I'm learning host based firewall by installing tcp_wrappers.tcz on Tiny Core Linux (TCL). Initially, the following files were not there which was expected. /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny BEFORE tc@linux:/etc$ date; ls -lh /etc/host* Thu May 3 20:20:51 UTC 2018 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 26 Jul 4 2016 /etc/host.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 May 3 20:18 /etc/hostname -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 May 3 20:18 /etc/hosts INSTALLATION tc@linux:/etc$ tce-load -wi tcp_wrappers.tcz Downloading: tcp_wrappers.tcz Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80) tcp_wrappers.tcz 100% |****************************************************************************************************************************************| 40960 0:00:00 ETA tcp_wrappers.tcz: OK AFTER tc@linux:/etc$ date; ls -lh /etc/host* Thu May 3 20:21:14 UTC 2018 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 26 Jul 4 2016 /etc/host.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 May 3 20:18 /etc/hostname -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 May 3 20:18 /etc/hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121 Nov 27 2008 /etc/hosts.allow -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 Nov 27 2008 /etc/hosts.deny Then, I was able to see both files created. tc@linux:/etc$ cat /etc/hosts.allow # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are allowed access by the '/usr/local/bin/tcpd' server. tc@linux:/etc$ cat /etc/hosts.deny # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are denied access by the '/usr/local/bin/tcpd' server. Unfortunately, /usr/local/bin/tcpd was not there. tc@linux:/etc$ ls -lh /usr/local/bin/tcpd ls: /usr/local/bin/tcpd: No such file or directory Obviously, TCP Wrapper won't work without tcpd right? How do I get this to work?
