NAME
       try-from - test program for the tcp_wrapper

SYNOPSIS
       try-from

DESCRIPTION
       The try-from command can be called via a remote shell command to find out if the hostname and address are properly recog-
       nized by the tcp_wrapper library, if username lookup works, and (SysV only) if the TLI on  top  of  IP  heuristics  work.
       Diagnostics are reported through syslog(3) and redirected to stderr.

       Example:

       rsh host /some/where/try-from


SEE ALSO
       hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5), tcpd(8)
