+.SH NAME
+try-from \- test program for the tcp_wrapper
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B try-from
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+command can be called via a remote shell command to find out
+if the hostname and address are properly recognized
+by the

+library, if username lookup works, and (SysV only) if the TLI
+on top of IP heuristics work. Diagnostics are reported through
+.BR syslog (3)
+and redirected to stderr.
+
+Example:
+
+rsh host /some/where/try-from
+
+.SH SEE ALSO
