A couple of things: 1. I think the word "then" is unnecessary in the first sentence. 2. I would end the first sentence after "portmap daemon". If you have a restrictive hosts.deny file, then adding an entry for portmap in the hosts.allow *must* override any hosts.deny rules. Otherwise it wouldn't allow access. In summary, I think after "portmap daemon" is redundant. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:29:00 up 33 days, 4:17, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
