Hi,
I am using xinetd Version 2.3.4 libwrap loadavg on a Debian box to run ex=
im.

I am using the following configuration:

service smtp
{
socket_type     =3D stream
protocol        =3D tcp
wait            =3D no
user            =3D mail
server          =3D /usr/sbin/exim
server_args     =3D -bs
interface       =3D [MY_IP]

only_from       =3D [LIST_OF_IPs]
}

LIST_OF_IPs is a list of about 300 different IP addresses. They have
nothing in common and might grow to 500 and more. It is simply a space
separated list of individual IPs.

However, I experienced that not all IPs are actually working. Only a
certain number of IPs is actually allowed to access. I assume that there
is a hardcoded limit on the number of IPs? Is that true? Is there an
easy way to change this?

Since my version of xinetd is compiled with libwrap support, would it be
a better option to use hosts.allow / hosts.deny for access control? Is
there a limit for these files?

Thank you very much for a quick response.
bye J=F6rn
