hi kevin,

let's expand on this with more assumptions:

  - tcpwrapper is installed and has been circumvented :( most unfortunate!

In this situation, it becomes increasingly difficult to guarantee the
security of the system/network.

what do you think of the following:

  i find an invader on the system,
  i have one program which i can use to:
    - with a specified tty or userid or someother unique identifer
	- close the shell,
	- modify hosts_access to deny invader's netadr (and userid, possibly)
    and - (something else necessa here? fill in)

how's that?

-brian
