RE: Denying AXFR

Wesley,

I'm trying to get NSD to deny AXFRs for the zones its
serving. I'm compiling
--with-libwrap (although I think that's unnecessary as it
looks like the
default is to go ahead and link with libwrap). This is with 2.2.0.

SNAP

Here is what I've tried:

/etc/hosts.allow:
axfr : ALL : deny

SNAP

But nothing works. Anybody have a working example of denying
all AXFRs?

We have the following line in /etc/hosts.deny on a Debian Linux system:
/etc/hosts.deny:
axfr: ALL
axfr-nl.: ALL

In the file /etc/hosts.allow we have exceptions for this rule like:
/etc/hosts.allow:
axfr: 10.0.0.1

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
Marc
