That solved the prob. I am now gettingmail notification of
successful logins to my Linux box. I can now move that to
hosts.deny and append to the ALL:ALL

Same prob. I gather that it needs a 'single' shell command
rather than a styring of shell commands even if they are
quoted.

Checked. My spelling here on this email was bad. The
hosts.allow HAS the colon. Its
telnetd: <ip addr>
It wont let me in. Are there other ways I can debugg whats
happening? It may be an IRIX specific problem.
