Possibly even something in the inetd man page about not having to HUP the server the hosts.allow changes. P.S. A kind soul told me about using IP addresses rather than host names for portmap entries. Could the sample portmap entries in hosts.allow be changed to _not_ use host and domain names? Also a comment in the gernal area about this requirement would help a lot.
