That's not only going to stop inetd from sitting on the port, it will probably also make telnet into the box start working, if it's related to the TCP wrappers (if he had modified his hosts.allow with the advice from a previous poster, he would not be having this problem, if that happens, so rather than posting his problem over and over again, maybe he should read the responses, and at least tell us if they worked?). Otherwise, another common culprit is ipfw; if he has the firewall enabled, the default is to block everything. Given that he got a connection, and that it was subsequently closed, though, rather than not getting a connection at all, it's a safe bet that it's the TCP wrappers, not the ipfw, that is causing the trouble. In which case, he should take the advice on the hosts.allow file contents that he was given earlier, and it will fix his problem... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
