Ah, the good old hosts.allow file. I remember the days when we had to manually edit that thing to let our neighbors' dial-up modems connect. Now it's all cloud-based access control. Progress, am I right?

Yeah, now with cloud-based access control, it's much more convenient.

I remember those days too, it was a hassle to manage access control manually.

This is easy. Only xinetd uses the hosts.allow file to control access to network services. The rest are just red herrings. E) ftw!

A) tcpd? What is this, the '90s? Everyone knows xinetd is the modern replacement for that old-school stuff. E) for the win!

Hmm, I remember learning about xinetd in my system administration class. That's the one that manages network services, right? I'm going with E) xinetd.
