I think the tcp wrappers code may have a maximum line length, and rejects connections if the max line lenght is exceded, to be on the paranoid side. Have you tried splitting the lines? For example, replace: ftpd: 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 3.3.3.3 4.4.4.4 5.5.5.5 ... 53.53.53.53 : allow ftpd: ALL : deny with something like: ftpd: 1.1.1.1 ... 10.10.10.10 : alloy ftpd: 11.11.11.11 ... 20.20.20.20 : allow ftpd: 21.21.21.21 ... 30.30.30.30 : allow ftpd: 31.31.31.31 ... 40.40.40.40 : allow ftpd: 41.41.41.41 ... 50.50.50.50 : allow ftpd: 51.51.51.51 ... 53.53.53.53 : allow ftpd: ALL : deny David.
