But then I started looking for some documentation on how to use the hosts.allow with my current system and wether anthing in the inetd.conf needed to be adjusted. I found this example.config file and hence I assumed it was still applicable. (boy I was wrong). It didn't (and won't most others) take long to find out what *should* be done, but still it's confusing imho. Maybe a warning in the config-file like: *this file shoud NOT be used as an example if you're using =>4.x* So; I know it's not really broken but it can be confusing and I noticed some other people in the mailinglist archive that tried to apply this file too. Can we make this more clear somehow or am I just being a nitpicker :) ? Cheerio, arjan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
