I'm trying to block out a site from accessing my system at all and for 
some odd reason I can't seem to get /etc/hosts.deny to work as I still get
connections from the site.  For instance if I want to block out all 
connections coming from abc.com -- the contents of /etc/hosts.deny is:

ALL: .abc.com

But oddly, that doesnt work.  I tried -HUPing all processes (daemons) but
i still get connections from anyone coming in from .abc.com -- what do I 
do to make sure that no one from a specific host is allowed to connect to 
the system?

I even made a empty /etc/hosts.allow but that didn't do much...

---------
PCVT problems.  When I telnet to other sites and set the term emulation as
VT220, when i log out, the screen gets messed up on my side -- everything 
prints on one line, or only 24 out of 25 lines (the top line  gets 
chopped off) show up.  SCON shows a slight error:

VGA Chipset Manufacturer = S3 Incorporated
VGA Chipset type = Unknown

I'm using a Diamond Stealth Video -- S3_968.  Perhaps I need to get a new
PCVT code in order to fix this problem -- if so, where can I pick this up?
The only way I currently fix this problem is by typing "reset" which is a
little annoying sometimes.  

Regards, 

Jon
