I have tried this it did not work and the Co-Lo people are convinced that s=
shd and sendmail
need to be run out of inetd.conf for this to work

As i said i am used to BSDI=A0 and the Finnish SSHD=20

Also here they are using the combined hosts.allow/deny=A0 with the deny ins=
ide which i never liked
Thank you for your help on this

You're right about the application layer, but not about the rest. From=20
sshd(8):
     /etc/hosts.allow
     /etc/hosts.deny
             Access controls that should be enforced by tcp-wrappers are
             defined here.  Further details are described in hosts_access(5=
).

Again, see above.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
