Hello,

I try to find some information about TCP WRAPPERS y2k compliance but i
can't. If anyone have some information he/she's welcome.

regards

laurent

The tcp-wrapper has no date sensitive data.  It relies on the OS for
things like logging.

As long as your OS is Y2k you're fine with tcp-wrappers.

I can't imagine why tcpwrappers would call any date related functions.
A quick grep for date, year and time suggest that it doesn't. (It does
use a timeout, but that's a relative measure).

i am sure that you are joking .

Try explaining to the management types that time in Unix is (typically)
stored in a 32bit counter. They want an actual statement from the
author/publisher that all their software is not going to die in 8
months.

Try to understand everything, but believe nothing

  If only it were that simple!  Unfortunately many applications and
utilities that do date processing convert to their own internal formats
which may or may not be as compliant as the operating system.  Y2K
problems may not be a problem for most people but it's vastly imprudent
not to do at least a cursory investigation.
