well I checked hosts.allow and nothing was in there so just to try anfd
get it to work I added the line ALL:ALL
in hots.deny once again nothing in that file so I added
ALL: EXCEPT XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX X being the ip addy of the box I want to
connect with
Still no go so I checked drakfirewall and it was checked to allow all.
I tried restarting xinetd with
service xinetd restart and it restarted buy I am still unable to connect
using telent to port 110
