    I would like to ask people in this community regarding to TCP Wrapper.

    My OS environment is below.

    [root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
    [root@server1 ~]# uname -a
    Linux server1.ywlocal.net 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 29 17:29:29 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    What I want to do is :

    Restrict access from user2new@192.168.11.230 on sshd service. Access is made to server 192.168.11.110.

    My TCP Wrapper definition (hosts.deny) on 192.168.11.110

    #

    hosts.deny This file contains access rules which are used to

    deny connections to network services that either use

    the tcp_wrappers library or that have been

    started through a tcp_wrappers-enabled xinetd.

    #

    The rules in this file can also be set up in

    /etc/hosts.allow with a 'deny' option instead.

    #

    See 'man 5 hosts_options' and 'man 5 hosts_access'

    for information on rule syntax.

    See 'man tcpd' for information on tcp_wrappers

    #
    sshd,vsftpd: user2new@192.168.11.230: RFC931: spawn /usr/bin/logger "Access has been made from %a by %u"

    Result is :

    Access was no restricted for user2new@192.168.11.230.

    Is there any configuration change I need to make in order to activate the username lookup?

    Thanks,

    Yu Watanabe
