DESCRIPTION

12       The  try-from  command can be called via a remote shell command to find
13       out if  the  hostname  and  address  are  properly  recognized  by  the
14       tcp_wrapper  library,  if username lookup works, and (SysV only) if the
15       TLI on top of IP heuristics work. Diagnostics are reported through sys‐
16       log(3) and redirected to stderr.
