connection should be refused or allowed. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much information about the way of doing this. The man page of "request_init" did help but was not enough.

A search with Google didn't help me so now I'm hoping someone on this list could give me a hint where to find more information about the tcp_wrapper library. Any links, docs ?

Hope I'm not out of place (I'm not a programmer) in suggesting that you try:

rpm -qd tcpd man 3 hosts_access emacs /usr/include/tcpd.h

for more starting places.
