TRY-FROM(M)         Linux Programmer's Manual         TRY-FROM(M)



NAME
       try-from - test program for the tcp_wrapper

SYNOPSIS
       try-from

DESCRIPTION
       The try-from command can be called via a remote shell com-
       mand to find out if the hostname and address are  properly
       recognized  by the tcp_wrapper library, if username lookup
       works, and (SysV only) if the TLI on top of IP  heuristics
       work. Diagnostics are reported through syslog(g) and redi-
       rected to stderr.

       Example:

       rsh host /some/where/try-from


SEE ALSO
       hosts_access(s), hosts_options(s), tcpd(d)
