[expert] telnet failure

[Kyle Hargraves]

Hi,

with regard to Mandrake 7.2 (with all recent .rpms installed)
and with nothing in /etc/hosts.deny and either an empty /etc/hosts.allow
or appropriate entries in /etc/hosts.allow  I cannot telnet to
a recently built Mandrake 7.2 box.  I get the initial "connection" then
a rejection :

viz.

kyle@johnson kyle]$ telnet purcell
Trying 163.X.Y.Z...
Connected to purcell.---etc--.au.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[kyle@johnson kyle]$

Clearly there is some Mandrake'ism (a file or whatever) preventing
this connection

cheers,

Kyle Hargraves
