I put "ALL : ALL" in /etc/hosts.deny so that all connections to my box are refused. I'm sure you can state specific hosts to be denied so that other hosts are allowed. I haven't needed to allow any outside hosts on my box so I haven't played with it.
Or you could comment out the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf (line 29 in mine). Then issue a 'killall HUP inetd' to make it active. You might also think about doing this for ftp as it's a potential security hole. -- WWW: <A HREF="http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber"><A HREF="http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber</A">http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber</A</A>> PGP: 768/2F9B4879 35 93 D1 42 D0 45 44 CB E7 8F 64 37 FB FD 54 5C It's not that I'm afraid to die.
