Examples are given below. .Pp The program examines the .Xr tcpd 8 access control tables (default .Pa /etc/hosts.allow and .Pa /etc/hosts.deny ) and prints its conclusion. For maximal accuracy, it extracts additional information from your .Xr inetd 8 network configuration file. .Pp When .Nm finds a match in the access control tables, it identifies the matched rule. In addition, it displays the optional shell commands or options in a pretty-printed format; this makes it easier for you to spot any discrepancies between what you want and what the program understands. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl d Examine .Pa hosts.allow and .Pa hosts.deny files in the current directory instead of the default ones. .It Fl i Ar inet_conf Specify this option when .Nm is unable to find your .Pa inetd.conf network configuration file, or when you wish to test with a non-default one. .El .Pp The following two arguments are always required: .Pp .Bl -tag -width XXXXXX -compact .It Ar daemon A daemon process name. Typically, the last component of a daemon executable pathname. .It Ar client A host name or network address, or one of the .Dq unknown or .Dq paranoid wildcard patterns. .El .Pp When a client host name is specified, .Nm gives a prediction for each address listed for that client. .Pp When a client address is specified, .Nm predicts what .Xr tcpd 8 would do when client name lookup fails. .Pp Optional information specified with the .Ar daemon@server form: .Pp .Bl -tag -width XXXXXX -compact .It Ar server A host name or network address, or one of the .Dq unknown or .Dq paranoid wildcard patterns. The default server name is .Dq unknown . .El .Pp Optional information specified with the .Ar user@client form: .Pp .Bl -tag -width XXXXXX -compact .It Ar user A client user identifier. Typically, a login name or a numeric user ID. The default user name is .Dq unknown . .El .Sh FILES The default locations of the .Xr tcpd 8 access control tables are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width /etc/hosts.allow -compact .It Pa /etc/hosts.allow access control table (allow list) .It Pa /etc/hosts.deny access control table (deny list) .El .Sh EXAMPLES To predict how .Xr tcpd 8 would handle a telnet request from the local system: .Pp .Dl $ tcpdmatch telnetd localhost .Pp The same request, pretending that hostname lookup failed: .Pp .Dl $ tcpdmatch telnetd 127.0.0.1 .Pp To predict what .Xr tcpd 8 would do when the client name does not match the client address: .Pp .Dl $ tcpdmatch telnetd paranoid .\" .Pp .\" On some systems, daemon names have no `in.' prefix, or .\" .Nm tcpdmatch\ .\" may need some help to locate the inetd configuration file. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr hosts_access 5 , .Xr hosts_options 5 , .Xr inetd.conf 5 , .Xr tcpdchk 8 .Sh AUTHORS .Bd -unfilled -offset indent Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl), Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, Eindhoven University of Technology Den Dolech 2, P.O.
