Hi,

I was wondering about how to secure access to the Linux server on which
the firebird server is running on.

According to the documentation I need to add the list of hosts I allow
to access the database server to /etc/hosts.equiv but doesn't it then
allow anyone from that remote host to connect to the Linux server? If
I want to allow only certain users to connect only to the database
service but not to any other service, how would I handle this? Can I
use /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny? If I can, what is the service
name I should use? Any other security recommendations? A pointer to a
document would be fine.

Thanks,
Avi
