NETKEY is a little and simple tool designed to protect your system 
from unauthorized access over the network. It does not replace inetd
but is called from it via inetd's configuration file inetd.conf.

Connection requests from remote systems will be granted or denied
based on netkeys configuration file. If the requested service is
denied, the connetcion is immediately  dropped, otherwise the
specified server (ftpd, telnetd etc.) is started as usual.

All action are logged via syslog or tlog.

The installation and configuration is straight-forward and netkey
will be up and running in a couple of minutes.
