-.SH PATTERNS
+.Sh PATTERNS
The access control language implements the following patterns:
-.IP \(bu
+.Bl -tag -width XXX
+.It \(bu
A string that begins with a `.\' character. A host name is matched if
the last components of its name match the specified pattern. For
example, the pattern `.tue.nl\' matches the host name
`wzv.win.tue.nl\'.
-.IP \(bu
+.It \(bu
A string that ends with a `.\' character. A host address is matched if
its first numeric fields match the given string. For example, the
pattern `131.155.\' matches the address of (almost) every host on the
Eind\%hoven University network (131.155.x.x).
-.IP \(bu
+.It \(bu
A string that begins with an `@\' character is treated as an NIS
(formerly YP) netgroup name. A host name is matched if it is a host
member of the specified netgroup. Netgroup matches are not supported
for daemon process names or for client user names.
-.IP \(bu
+.It \(bu
An expression of the form `n.n.n.n/m.m.m.m\' is interpreted as a
`net/mask\' pair. A host address is matched if `net\' is equal to the
bitwise AND of the address and the `mask\'. For example, the net/mask
pattern `131.155.72.0/255.255.254.0\' matches every address in the
range `131.155.72.0\' through `131.155.73.255\'.
-.SH WILDCARDS
+.El
+.Sh WILDCARDS
The access control language supports explicit wildcards:
-.IP ALL
+.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXX
+.It ALL
The universal wildcard, always matches.
-.IP LOCAL
+.It LOCAL
Matches any host whose name does not contain a dot character.
-.IP UNKNOWN
+.It UNKNOWN
Matches any user whose name is unknown, and matches any host whose name
-\fIor\fR address are unknown. This pattern should be used with care:
+or address are unknown. This pattern should be used with care:
host names may be unavailable due to temporary name server problems. A
network address will be unavailable when the software cannot figure out
what type of network it is talking to.
-.IP KNOWN
+.It KNOWN
Matches any user whose name is known, and matches any host whose name
-\fIand\fR address are known. This pattern should be used with care:
+and address are known. This pattern should be used with care:
host names may be unavailable due to temporary name server problems. A
network address will be unavailable when the software cannot figure out
what type of network it is talking to.
-.IP PARANOID
-Matches any host whose name does not match its address. When tcpd is
-built with -DPARANOID (default mode), it drops requests from such
-clients even before looking at the access control tables. Build
-without -DPARANOID when you want more control over such requests.

would parse as `(a EXCEPT (b EXCEPT c))\'.

If the first-matched access control rule contains a shell command, that
command is subjected to %<letter> substitutions (see next section).

+.Pp
Characters in % expansions that may confuse the shell are replaced by

-.SH SERVER ENDPOINT PATTERNS
+.Sh SERVER ENDPOINT PATTERNS
In order to distinguish clients by the network address that they
connect to, use patterns of the form:
-.sp
-.ti +3
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
process_name@host_pattern : client_list ...
-.sp
+.Ed
+.Pp
Patterns like these can be used when the machine has different internet
addresses with different internet hostnames. Service providers can use
this facility to offer FTP, GOPHER or WWW archives with internet names
that may even belong to different organizations. See also the `twist'
-option in the hosts_options(5) document. Some systems (Solaris,
-FreeBSD) can have more than one internet address on one physical
+option in the
+.Xr hosts_options 5
+document. Many systems can have more than one internet address on one physical
interface; with other systems you may have to resort to SLIP or PPP
pseudo interfaces that live in a dedicated network address space.
-.sp
+.Pp
The host_pattern obeys the same syntax rules as host names and
addresses in client_list context. Usually, server endpoint information
is available only with connection-oriented services.
-.SH CLIENT USERNAME LOOKUP
+.Sh CLIENT USERNAME LOOKUP
When the client host supports the RFC 931 protocol or one of its
descendants (TAP, IDENT, RFC 1413) the wrapper programs can retrieve
additional information about the owner of a connection. Client username
information, when available, is logged together with the client host
name, and can be used to match patterns like:
-.PP
-.ti +3
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
daemon_list : ... user_pattern@host_pattern ...
-.PP
+.Ed
+.Pp
The daemon wrappers can be configured at compile time to perform
rule-driven username lookups (default) or to always interrogate the
client host. In the case of rule-driven username lookups, the above
-rule would cause username lookup only when both the \fIdaemon_list\fR
-and the \fIhost_pattern\fR match.
-.PP
+rule would cause username lookup only when both the
+.Ar daemon_list
+and the
+.Ar host_pattern
+match.
+.Pp
A user pattern has the same syntax as a daemon process pattern, so the
same wildcards apply (netgroup membership is not supported). One
should not get carried away with username lookups, though.
-.IP \(bu
+.Bl -tag -width XXX
+.It \(bu
The client username information cannot be trusted when it is needed
most, i.e. when the client system has been compromised. In general,
ALL and (UN)KNOWN are the only user name patterns that make sense.
-.IP \(bu
+.It \(bu
Username lookups are possible only with TCP-based services, and only
when the client host runs a suitable daemon; in all other cases the
result is "unknown".
-.IP \(bu
-A well-known UNIX kernel bug may cause loss of service when username

+.\" A well-known UNIX kernel bug may cause loss of service when username
+.\" lookups are blocked by a firewall. The wrapper README document

+.It \(bu
Username lookups may cause noticeable delays for non-UNIX users. The
default timeout for username lookups is 10 seconds: too short to cope
with slow networks, but long enough to irritate PC users.
-.PP
+.El
+.Pp
Selective username lookups can alleviate the last problem. For example,
a rule like:
-.PP
-.ti +3
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
daemon_list : @pcnetgroup ALL@ALL
-.PP
+.Ed
+.Pp
would match members of the pc netgroup without doing username lookups,
but would perform username lookups with all other systems.
-.SH DETECTING ADDRESS SPOOFING ATTACKS
+.Sh DETECTING ADDRESS SPOOFING ATTACKS
A flaw in the sequence number generator of many TCP/IP implementations
allows intruders to easily impersonate trusted hosts and to break in
via, for example, the remote shell service. The IDENT (RFC931 etc.)
service can be used to detect such and other host address spoofing
attacks.
-.PP
+.Pp
Before accepting a client request, the wrappers can use the IDENT
service to find out that the client did not send the request at all.
When the client host provides IDENT service, a negative IDENT lookup
result (the client matches `UNKNOWN@host') is strong evidence of a host
spoofing attack.
-.PP
+.Pp
A positive IDENT lookup result (the client matches `KNOWN@host') is
less trustworthy. It is possible for an intruder to spoof both the
client connection and the IDENT lookup, although doing so is much
harder than spoofing just a client connection. It may also be that
the client\'s IDENT server is lying.
-.PP
+.Pp
Note: IDENT lookups don\'t work with UDP services.
-.SH EXAMPLES
+.Sh EXAMPLES
The language is flexible enough that different types of access control
policy can be expressed with a minimum of fuss. Although the language
uses two access control tables, the most common policies can be
implemented with one of the tables being trivial or even empty.
-.PP
+.Pp
When reading the examples below it is important to realize that the
allow table is scanned before the deny table, that the search
terminates when a match is found, and that access is granted when no
match is found at all.
-.PP
+.Pp
The examples use host and domain names. They can be improved by
including address and/or network/netmask information, to reduce the
impact of temporary name server lookup failures.
-.SH MOSTLY CLOSED
+.Sh MOSTLY CLOSED
In this case, access is denied by default. Only explicitly authorized
hosts are permitted access.
-.PP
+.Pp
The default policy (no access) is implemented with a trivial deny
file:
-.PP
-.ne 2
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
/etc/hosts.deny:
-.in +3
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent 2
ALL: ALL
-.PP
+.Ed

+.Pp
This denies all service to all hosts, unless they are permitted access
by entries in the allow file.
-.PP

The explicitly authorized hosts are listed in the allow file.
For example:
-.PP
-.ne 2
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
/etc/hosts.allow:
-.in +3
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent 2
ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
-.br
ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
-.PP
+.Ed
+.Ed
+.Pp
The first rule permits access from hosts in the local domain (no `.\'
-in the host name) and from members of the \fIsome_netgroup\fP
+in the host name) and from members of the
+.Ar some_netgroup
netgroup. The second rule permits access from all hosts in the
-\fIfoobar.edu\fP domain (notice the leading dot), with the exception of
-\fIterminalserver.foobar.edu\fP.
-.SH MOSTLY OPEN
+.Ar foobar.edu
+domain (notice the leading dot), with the exception of
+.Ar terminalserver.foobar.edu .
+.Sh MOSTLY OPEN
Here, access is granted by default; only explicitly specified hosts are
refused service.
-.PP
+.Pp
The default policy (access granted) makes the allow file redundant so
that it can be omitted. The explicitly non-authorized hosts are listed
in the deny file. For example:
-.PP
+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
/etc/hosts.deny:
-.in +3
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent 2
ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain
-.br
ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain
-.PP
+.Ed

+.Pp
The first rule denies some hosts and domains all services; the second
rule still permits finger requests from other hosts and domains.
-.SH BOOBY TRAPS
+.Sh BOOBY TRAPS
The next example permits tftp requests from hosts in the local domain
(notice the leading dot). Requests from any other hosts are denied.
Instead of the requested file, a finger probe is sent to the offending
host. The result is mailed to the superuser.

+.Pp
+The
+.Nm safe_finger
+command comes with the tcpd wrapper and should be
installed in a suitable place. It limits possible damage from data sent
by the remote finger server. It gives better protection than the
standard finger command.
-.PP
+.Pp
The expansion of the %h (client host) and %d (service name) sequences
is described in the section on shell commands.
-.PP
+.Pp
Warning: do not booby-trap your finger daemon, unless you are prepared
for infinite finger loops.
-.PP
+.Pp
On network firewall systems this trick can be carried even further.
The typical network firewall only provides a limited set of services to
the outer world. All other services can be "bugged" just like the above
tftp example. The result is an excellent early-warning system.

An error is reported when a syntax error is found in a host access
control rule; when the length of an access control rule exceeds the
capacity of an internal buffer; when an access control rule is not
terminated by a newline character; when the result of %<letter>
expansion would overflow an internal buffer; when a system call fails
that shouldn\'t. All problems are reported via the syslog daemon.

+in the
+.Xr hosts_access 5
+document.
+.\" The extensions are enabled at program build time.
+.\" For example, by editing the Makefile and turning on the
+.\" PROCESS_OPTIONS compile-time option.
+.Pp
The extensible language uses the following format:
-.sp

+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
daemon_list : client_list : option : option ...
-.PP
-The first two fields are described in the hosts_access(5) manual page.
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The first two fields are described in the
+.Xr hosts_access 5
+manual page.
The remainder of the rules is a list of zero or more options. Any ":"
characters within options should be protected with a backslash.
-.PP
+.Pp
An option is of the form "keyword" or "keyword value". Options are
processed in the specified order. Some options are subjected to
%<letter> substitutions. For the sake of backwards compatibility with
earlier versions, an "=" is permitted between keyword and value.
-.SH LOGGING
-.IP "severity mail.info"
-.IP "severity notice"
+.Sh LOGGING
+.Bl -tag -width "severity mail.info"
+.It "severity mail.info"
+.It "severity notice"
Change the severity level at which the event will be logged. Facility
names (such as mail) are optional, and are not supported on systems
with older syslog implementations. The severity option can be used
to emphasize or to ignore specific events.
-.SH ACCESS CONTROL
-.IP "allow"
-.IP "deny"
+.El
+.Sh ACCESS CONTROL
+.Bl -tag -width allow

+.Pp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
ALL: .friendly.domain: ALLOW
-.ti +3
ALL: ALL: DENY

Notice the leading dot on the domain name patterns.
-.SH RUNNING OTHER COMMANDS
-.IP "spawn shell_command"
+.Sh RUNNING OTHER COMMANDS
+.Bl -tag -width "spawn shell_command"
+.It "spawn shell_command"
Execute, in a child process, the specified shell command, after
performing the %<letter> expansions described in the hosts_access(5)
manual page. The command is executed with stdin, stdout and stderr
connected to the null device, so that it won\'t mess up the
conversation with the client host. Example:
-.sp
-.nf
-.ti +3
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
spawn (/some/where/safe_finger -l @%h | /usr/ucb/mail root) &
-.fi
-.sp
+.Ed
+.Pp
executes, in a background child process, the shell command "safe_finger
-l @%h | mail root" after replacing %h by the name or address of the
remote host.
-.sp
+.Pp
The example uses the "safe_finger" command instead of the regular
"finger" command, to limit possible damage from data sent by the finger
server. The "safe_finger" command is part of the daemon wrapper
package; it is a wrapper around the regular finger command that filters
the data sent by the remote host.
-.IP "twist shell_command"
+.It "twist shell_command"
Replace the current process by an instance of the specified shell
command, after performing the %<letter> expansions described in the
-hosts_access(5) manual page. Stdin, stdout and stderr are connected to
+.Xr hosts_access 5
+manual page. Stdin, stdout and stderr are connected to
the client process. This option must appear at the end of a rule.
-.sp
+.Pp
To send a customized bounce message to the client instead of
running the real ftp daemon:
-.sp
-.nf
-.ti +3
-in.ftpd : ... : twist /bin/echo 421 Some bounce message
-.fi
-.sp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
+ftpd : ... : twist /bin/echo 421 Some bounce message
+.Ed
+.Pp
For an alternative way to talk to client processes, see the
-\fIbanners\fR option below.
-.sp
-To run /some/other/in.telnetd without polluting its command-line
+.Ar banners
+option below.
+.Pp
+To run /some/other/telnetd without polluting its command-line
array or its process environment:
-.sp
-.nf
-.ti +3
-in.telnetd : ... : twist PATH=/some/other; exec in.telnetd
-.fi
-.sp
+.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
+telnetd : ... : twist PATH=/some/other; exec in.telnetd
+.Ed
+.Pp
Warning: in case of UDP services, do not twist to commands that use
-the standard I/O or the read(2)/write(2) routines to communicate with
+the standard I/O or the
+.Xr read 2
+or
+.Xr write 2
+routines to communicate with
the client process; UDP requires other I/O primitives.
-.SH NETWORK OPTIONS
-.IP "keepalive"
+.El
+.Sh NETWORK OPTIONS
+.Bl -tag -width "linger number_of_seconds"
+.It "keepalive"
Causes the server to periodically send a message to the client. The
connection is considered broken when the client does not respond. The
keepalive option can be useful when users turn off their machine while
it is still connected to a server. The keepalive option is not useful
for datagram (UDP) services.
-.IP "linger number_of_seconds"
+.It "linger number_of_seconds"
Specifies how long the kernel will try to deliver not-yet delivered
data after the server process closes a connection.
-.SH USERNAME LOOKUP
-.IP "rfc931 [ timeout_in_seconds ]"
+.El
+.Sh USERNAME LOOKUP
+.Bl -tag -width "rfc931 [ timeout_in_seconds ]"
+.It "rfc931 [ timeout_in_seconds ]"
Look up the client user name with the RFC 931 (TAP, IDENT, RFC 1413)
protocol. This option is silently ignored in case of services based on
transports other than TCP. It requires that the client system runs an
@@ -123,51 +174,58 @@ RFC 931 (IDENT, etc.) -compliant daemon, and may cause noticeable
delays with connections from non-UNIX clients. The timeout period is
optional. If no timeout is specified a compile-time defined default
value is taken.
-.SH MISCELLANEOUS
-.IP "banners /some/directory"
-Look for a file in `/some/directory' with the same name as the daemon
-process (for example in.telnetd for the telnet service), and copy its
-contents to the client. Newline characters are replaced by
-carriage-return newline, and %<letter> sequences are expanded (see
-the hosts_access(5) manual page).
-.sp
-The tcp wrappers source code distribution provides a sample makefile
-(Banners.Makefile) for convenient banner maintenance.

+.Pp
+.\" The tcp wrappers source code distribution provides a sample makefile
+.\" (Banners.Makefile) for convenient banner maintenance.
+.\" .Pp
Warning: banners are supported for connection-oriented (TCP) network
services only.
-.IP "nice [ number ]"
+.It "nice [ number ]"
Change the nice value of the process (default 10). Specify a positive
value to spend more CPU resources on other processes.
-.IP "setenv name value"
+.It "setenv name value"
Place a (name, value) pair into the process environment. The value is
subjected to %<letter> expansions and may contain whitespace (but
leading and trailing blanks are stripped off).
-.sp
+.Pp
Warning: many network daemons reset their environment before spawning a
login or shell process.
-.IP "umask 022"
+.It "umask 022"
Like the umask command that is built into the shell. An umask of 022
prevents the creation of files with group and world write permission.
The umask argument should be an octal number.
-.IP "user nobody"
-.IP "user nobody.kmem"
+.It "user nobody"
+.It "user nobody.kmem"
Assume the privileges of the "nobody" userid (or user "nobody", group
"kmem"). The first form is useful with inetd implementations that run
all services with root privilege. The second form is useful for
services that need special group privileges only.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.El

When a syntax error is found in an access control rule, the error
is reported to the syslog daemon; further options will be ignored,
and service is denied.
