Check your /etc/inetd.conf for a line such as this: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/tcpd telnetd This is straight from /usr/local/etc/inetd.conf.wrapped.sample I'll bet what you currently have is this: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd After making the change to /etc/inetd.conf you'll have to send a HUP signal to inetd. The best way to do this is "killall -HUP inetd". - Ben On Sun, Oct 18, 1998 at 07:21:22AM -0700, Shockboi wrote: > > Hi, I am running 2.2.7R and my problem is that my hosts.deny > file isn't being read.
