requested service daemon.

tcpdchk is a tool to examine a tcpd wrapper
configuration and report problems with it.
tcpdmatch
tcpdmatch is used to predict how the tcp wrapper
would handle a specific request for a service.
try-from
try-from can be called via a remote shell command to
find out if the host name and address are properly recognized.
safe_finger
safe_finger is a wrapper for the finger
utility, to provide automatic reverse name lookups.
