Title: New Service
Post by: Paul on May 11, 2002, 03:31:56 PM

Hi,

I am trying to add the cvspserver service to my SME 5.1.2 Server. I have added the necessary entries in /etc/xinetd.conf and /etc/hosts.allow which I think are correct:

xinetd.conf:
service cvspserver
{
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = --allow-root=/home/e-smith/files/ibays/cvsroot/files pserver
        disable         = no
        env             = HOME=/home/e-smith/files/ibays/cvsroot/files
        passenv         =
}

hosts.allow:
cvspserver: 127.0.0.1, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/255.255.255.0

However, I cannot access the CVS server using CVS, so I tried to connect to the CVS pserver port using SSH, I cannot get access to the pserver and get the following message in the /var/log/messages log file:

May 11 11:25:06 nightjar xinetd[11312]: xinetd Version 2.3.3 started with libwrap options compiled in.
May 11 11:25:06 nightjar xinetd[11312]: Started working: 8 available services
May 11 11:25:09 nightjar xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
May 11 11:25:37 nightjar xinetd[11317]: libwrap refused connection to cvspserver
 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Is there any other files (perhaps a libwrap file?) apart from xinetd.conf and hosts.allow that have to be edited to allow SME to use a new service?

Paul

SME has a default /etc/hosts.deny of ALL:ALL and explictly specifies everything allowed in hosts.allow in addition to the ipchains firewalling in /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq.  To allow new services you need to make custom templates for these files.
