I just patched my copy of syslog-ng-1.5.10 to use tcp wrappers - I want to strictly control who is allowed to talk to my log server, and since we do everything else at my shop with TCP wrappers, it seemed sensible to add it in. I am running NetBSD 1.5.2, which provides the tcp wrappers code as part of the base OS. The only other change needed was to add "-lwrap" to the link flags.
Is there interest in this feature? The patch below is only for incoming TCP connections - I don't see the point of putting it in for udp, as the packets are trivially spoofable. I haven't had much time to review the syslog-ng code, so I suspect this is not the best way to apply the patch: on second thought, it seems it might belong in libol.
Thanks for your contribution. As there was feature requests for this earlier, I added your patch to my CVS tree. (the location where you added it is completely sensible) -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
