AHH ... I see now what you were reacting to! My sample from /etc/xinetd.conf having localhost in the only_from parameter.
Exactly :-)
But ... Carlos, this was the actual data that came "by default" witth the server config.
You are right, mine also. Curious.

No, I didn't, I thought it was a typo. By the way, the correct place would be in file "/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd", I think, unless you want it to apply to all services. Perhaps its considered more secure to default to localhost, and then allow more for the really needed services. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
