What are its contents ? > Yes! (sendmail, telnet, ftp, pop3.....) I have just tried it on a 3.2S box I have here ... that is... two local users trying to talk and it doesn't work either. I have a /etc/hosts.allow but it is bulk-standard (as per the installation)!! I'm sure if anyone has it working for two local users then it must be OK, and it is just something I am doing wrong.
