hello everyone!

something's really weird -- i can't telnet to my linux mail host from my
FreeBSD machine but i can telnet from the linux mail host to the FreeBSD
machine. the linux mail host is slackware 3.2 with shadow support. i
checked /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/login.access and
disabled everything but i can't still telnet to the linux host! am i
missing something here?

i would appreciate if someone could enlighten me.
