I am currently having a problem enabling tcp wrappers with openssh version
3.7.1 on solaris 9 operating system. We have replaced Sun's version of ssh
with our standard deployed version of 3.7.1p2

The problem that I am having is that I am not able to use the following
entry in the hosts.deny to prevent access and send us email:

ALL: ALL: spawn (/bin/mailx -s "%s rejected host %h" root) &: DENY

this line works correctly with the solaris 9 version of ssh and works from
the hosts.allow file too but not from the hosts.deny file.

Any idea why this line is not working in a solaris 9 environment with ssh
3.7.1 from withinthe hosts.deny file ?

>From what I have read, solaris 9 supports tcp wrappers via the libwrap
library. What are the equivalent libraries in OpenSSH ?

Thanks in advance.
