When you telnet to any tcp port and you receive 'Connected to xxxx' followed by an immediate Connection closed by foreign host, it almost always means tcp_wrappers is blocking your connection. FWIW - the 'Connected to' blurb means the 3-way TCP handshake was successful. I thought the default install has tcp_wrappers "open". Since it sounds like it's not open, add the following line to the very top of /etc/hosts.allow to effecctively disable tcp_wrappers: ALL : ALL : allow As another test... do the following: # telnet etaq3 22 Do you get an SSH banner immediately? eventually? never? --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
