Does /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have any use whatsoever in RHEL 8?

环境

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8
• tcp_wrappers
• firewalld

问题

• /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are present on RHEL 8 Beta system. They are in the setup-2.12.2-1.el8.noarch rpm. What is the purpose now when tcp_wrappers is no longer available?
• Do /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have any use whatsoever in RHEL 8?

决议

• There is no tcp_wrappers package in RHEL8.
• tcp_wrappers has been replaced with firewalld.
• There is no reason why the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} are provided by the default setup package.
• The Bugzilla ticket Bug #1663556 - /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files contain extremely inaccurate information has been filed to remove these.
