[SunHELP] Tcp_wrappers: emailing info from refused attempt

[Dicu Silviu]

here is what i have an works perfect ( my example is put into
hosts.allow at the  END of file, you can use hosts.deny if you have a
lot of hosts to allow )

ALL             :       ALL             :      
spawn(/opt/sbin/safe_finger -l @%h | /bin/mail -s 'subject'
admin at yahoo.com) : deny
