Subject: tcp wrapper question

Firewall experts,

I sought to use tcp wrapper to qualify user logins (with its rfc 931 checking
ability) in an attempt to prohibit certain users from logging in to our
NIS master and yet permitting them access to other NIS clients. Apparently
rfc 931 is not so popular and most queries return "unknown" for user
authentication thereby foiling this effort.

Is there a simpler way to implement this restriction. We are running 4.1.3
on 10's, 690MPs. Is this a simple netgroup exercise or is there an elegant
solution?

TIA,

Henry Katz
