hi Aditya,
What I want is that any machine in my office ( say that there are 150
machines ) should be able to telnet to the server, whatever be their IP
addresses. are you saying that I will have to add all 150 these IPs ?
please clarify.
As of now , any machine with *.*.29.* can telnet to the machine , without
my having to edit any of the files. However, any other machine (*.*.28.*
etc. ) is not able to telnet.
ciao

� There are certain files in the /etc directory

� host.conf
� hosts
� hosts.allow
� hosts.deny
� hosts.equiv
� hosts.lpd

� The problem could be solved by listing the IP Address in hosts.allow file
� even though this is required for inetd services.
� This is because telnetd is itself invoked by inetd.

� Also an entry for remote telnet must be in your /etc/services file.
