[NTLUG:Discuss] Libwrap stuff in logs???

[MadHat]

I would like to ask that you not send HTMLized mail to the list with
multipart MIME attachments...  This is the default in M$ Outlook
Express.  Thanks

---------------------------------

These messages are just xinetd saying they had requests from those IP on
those ports and they were denied access.  This is the purpose of libwrap
and tcp_wrappers. 

Take a look at:

and look at the section on "Logging and xinetd"
