`man hosts.allow` says that lines in hosts.allow "should satisfy the following format, things between [] being optional":

daemon_list : client_list [ : shell_command ]

In your case the daemon_list is 'myproxy-server', the client_list is '127.0.0.1' and the shell_command is empty. It means that you should have:

myproxy-server: LOCAL

However, it is common to have in /etc/hosts.allow the following line

ALL: LOCAL

than deny loopback access and protect a machine from itself. You can also remove the line "ALL: ALL" from /etc/hosts.deny as I suggested several days ago.

Hey

I was wondering why without adding any lines to hosts.allow and hosts.deny I can have credentials exchanged successfully when both the server and the client are started on different terminals.
