The patch below adds a new host pattern to the TCP Wrapper access
control language. Instead of a host name or address pattern, you
can specify an external /file/name with host name or address
patterns.   The feature can be used recursively.

The /file/name extension makes it easy to blacklist bad sites, for
example, to block unwanted electronic mail when libwrap is linked
into sendmail.  Adding hosts to a simple text file is much easier
than having to edit a more complex hosts.allow/deny file.

I developed this a year or so ago as a substitute for NIS netgroups.
At that time, I did not consider it of sufficient interest for
inclusion in the TCP Wrapper distribution. How times have changed.

The patch is relative to TCP Wrappers version 7.6. The main archive
site is ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security/tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz

Thanks to the Debian LINUX folks for expressing their interest in
this patch.

	Wietse
