yes, true. i'm would prefer if the "hosts" file acl's would behave more
like tcp-wrappers. currrently, as far as i can tell, hosts that are not in
the "hosts" file can still connect and browse files in "etc" "conf" and
other directories. i would like it if only hosts in the "hosts" file would
get a connection and also that they would only be able to browse certain
directories.

i havent tried it, but i suppose i could use tcp-wrappers by setting up
hfaxd to run from inetd. but i'd rather just use the built-in "hosts" acl
if possible.
