NAME
       tcpdmatch - evaluate tcp wrapper service requests

SYNOPSYS
       inet_conf] daemon client

       inet_conf] daemon[[userclient

DESCRIPTION
       predicts how the tcp wrapper would handle a specific request for service.  Examples are given below.

       The program examines the access control tables (default and and prints its conclusion.  For maximum accuracy, it extracts additional infor-
       mation from the configuration file.

       When 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 printable format.  The display helps you find any discrepancies between what you want and what understands for the access con-
       trol rules.

   Arguments
       The daemon and client arguments are always required.

       daemon	 A daemon process name.  Typically, the last component of a daemon executable pathname.

       client	 A host name or network address, or one of the `unknown' or `paranoid' wildcard patterns.

		 When a client host name is specified, gives a prediction for each address listed for that client.

		 When a client address is specified, predicts what would do when the client name lookup fails.

       Optional information specified with the form:

       server	 A host name or network address, or one of the `unknown' or `paranoid' wildcard patterns.  The default server name is `unknown'.

       Optional information specified with the form:

       user	 A client user identifier. Typically, a login name or a numeric userid.  The default user name is `unknown'.

   Options
       Examine	 and files in the current directory instead of the default ones.

       Specify this option when
		 is unable to find your configuration file, or when you suspect that is using the wrong file.  inet_conf is the path name  of  the
		 configuration file whose entries you want to examine.

EXAMPLES
       To predict how would handle a telnet request from the local system:

       The same request, pretending that hostname lookup failed:

       To predict what would do when the client name does not match the client address:

FILES
       The default locations of the access control tables are:

       (daemon, client) pairs that are granted access.

       (daemon, client) pairs that are denied access.
