Hi,
I have a SuSE (Linux 2.2.16) box and am trying to get tcpd to restrict
access
Effectively I want 1 machine to have telnet access
say x.x.x.x (a 102. style internal domain)
I have in /etc/inetd.

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd

and in /etc/hosts.allow
telnet : x.x.x.x

and in /etc/hosts.deny
telnet : ALL

Question is:
why can anyone get on?

it is as if tcpd is not reading the /etc/hosts.* files

Thanks in advance.

Nigel
