NAME

       try-from - test program for the tcp_wrapper

SYNOPSIS

       try-from

DESCRIPTION

       The try-from command can be called via a remote shell command to find out if the hostname and address are
       properly recognized by the tcp_wrapper library, if username lookup works, and (SysV only) if the  TLI  on
       top of IP heuristics work. Diagnostics are reported through syslog(3) and redirected to stderr.

       Example:

       rsh host /usr/sbin/try-from

SEE ALSO

       hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5), tcpd(8)
