openssh: Need to add TCP wrappers

Hello,

Ive installed open ssh on a cygwin system to use with an ssh tunnel. Now that it is up an running im looking to harden the security a bit by adding ip filtering. The ssh-host-config script i used to setup openssh apparently did not include the --with-tcp-wrappers option.

Do i need to recompile the build or is there a way to add the tcp wrappers option to my current install?

Thanks in advance for any help.

AFAIK, you'll need to recompile to enable tcp wrapper support.

Are you sure it's not there already? It is a common option.

ldd $(which sshd) | grep libwrap

Does that produce any output?

Hi,

You may also use iptables to secure your ssh.Personally, Iptables could probably give you a more flexiable choice to secure your network.
