is your e-smith server a firewall. how is e-smith configured? does it have 2 NICs ie: one for the LAN connection and one for internet?

I don't thing host.allow or host.deny will stop or allow access using ssh, because ssh uses both tcp and udp. > Hi all, > > Hope you've had a great Christmas.... > > I've been messing around trying to ssh into my e-smith server so that I can > copy the chat scripts before upgrading the server to Mandrake or Redhat (yes, > I'm still at, tenacity rather than brilliance.... ). > > I went to edit my hosts.allow file and found a refernce to INET services ... > there is no INET manpage nor any reference to it my Complete Linux Guide > (which admittedly is for 7.0, not redhat 7.3). > > Can anyone shed some light on this? > > Regards > > Mick > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
