You currently have to enable tcp wrappers during configure time using the –with-libwrap option during configure. You can optionally specify the prefix for where the tcp wrapper libraries are located.Some versions of tcp wrappers have problems with hosts that support IPv6 connections. Try to get a patched version of tcp wrappers or replace the ‘Listen * 2401’ statement in cvsd.conf with ‘Listen 0.0.0.0 2401’.Don’t forget that the hosts.allow and hosts.deny need to be located inside the chroot jail to be effective.
