gconf & tcpwrappers

["Robert A. Knop Jr." <robert a knop vanderbilt edu>]

What is the "key" that should be used in hosts.allow for gconfd?  (Or is
it for ORBit in general?)

I've got multiple systems that share the same home directory.  I need to
be able to get them to be able to talk to each others' gconfd sessions
in order to be able to log into multiple systems at once.  I set
"ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc, and the iptables setup on each machine
lets all of my other machines connect to high-numbered ports.  I finally
managed to get it working by putting a

ALL: <ipaddr> , <ipaddr> , <ipaddr>

into my /etc/hosts.allow file.  This isn't terribly satisfying... I'd
like to list exactly the service which gconf is looking for.  I've tried
"gconfd" and "orbit" (those were the names suggested to me from the
syslog log file), but neither of those worked.  What is the right key to
use?

(Is there a way in general that one can tell which key one ought to use
for tcpwrappers?)

Thanks,

-Rob
