    You could try TCP wrappers for this. If readdirplus uses is handled by the daemon 'readdirplus' then you could add the following line in /etc/hosts.deny


    /etc/hosts.deny

    ALL: readdirplus

    This would deny readdirplus for all. Worth trying.

    OR

    You could find out the port number readdirplus uses and block that particular port using IPTABLES.
