Well, that's a bug in the program. :) If you want to advocate layered
security you should really require that all programs implement their own
acl's in addition to any other security measures (since you don't seem
to think security measures like not running the program, running the
program on a disconnected system, running the program on a closed
network, or relying on external firewalls are sufficient, I assumed that
you were going for a full-on layered approach.) I'd argue that having
the acl's in one place (hosts.allow) is better than scattering them in a
million seperate config files, but something would be better than
nothing.
