Dave, You are going to need to restart your network services for TCP Wrappers to take effect:
ex., /etc/init.d/network restart Your hosts.deny file should have in it ALL:ALL to deny access via any service from any IP address. If you want to allow access from one specific IP address: ALL:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or to allow access from any address on a specific subnet: ALL:xxx.xxx.xxx. I'm a newbie, too, but I'm learning... Good luck to you! Jay Scrivner -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
