Re: Looking for "lease based popper access"

I use tcp wrappers a lot when I configure client networks. I figure if the
script kiddies can't connect, they can't do a lot of damage -- assuming
tcp wrappers isn't exploitable :)

This works pretty good for most services except POP. Traveling employees
need to get to their email from where ever they are.


Then use a SSH- or SSL-based encrypted tunnel as is often discussed on this
list. You should not authenticate users based on their IP-address.
