1) Make sure tcp-wrappers are installed. Mine were I'm using RedHat 5.1
with kernel 2.034
2) You must modify your inetd.conf as specified in the FAQ. I used inetd I
did not use TCP wrappers
3) You must edit your hosts.allow as indicated in your email. Try putting
the IP of your computer only just to test it.
4) Correct me if I'm wrong but if you put "all: all: deny" into
/etc/hosts/deny aren't you denying all services ? My hosts.deny is empty.
5) I still had problems and so I restarted the Linux box (call me a
philistine). After that all was OK. (ie. I didn't have success in getting
it to register the changes to hosts.allow without restarting.)
Probably doesn't help but hope it does.
