[lug] TCP Wrapers and Going After Bad People

[Greg Horne]

I have tried the Red Hat network, with a 7.0 system.  It was sort of 
confusing, the layout did not make sense.  Plus!  More than one computer 
registered will cost you money.  What is that all about?  Oh yeah, what 
exactly is Red Carpet?

Thanks,
Greg
