Ok. You don't need to sighup inetd. From one of your previous postings you're getting the following error: Aug 25 03:37:05 unix inetd[82105]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 13: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(customer18-197.telmex.net.mx) failed What appears to be happening, is that since the address can't be verified to be from that domain it is not denying. That error, if you didn't know, is saying it cannot resolve "customer18-197.telmex.net.mx". They appear to have DNS resolution problems. What I would suggest is to see if you can find out the range of ip addresses they use and try denying that, e.g. telnetd : 200.33.146. : deny See if that works. Also I do not know if there is a way to deny all addresses that do not resolve. I will look into that, because I'd like to know myself. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Alejandro Ramirez [SMTP:ales@megared.net.mx] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 11:23 AM > To: Christopher Michaels; FreeBSD Questions > Subject: RE: tcp wrappers > > Hi, > > This are the only 3 lines that I have uncommented in my > /etc/hosts.allow > file: > > telnetd : .telmex.net.mx : deny > telnetd : .itesm.mx : deny > ALL : ALL : allow > > the rest of the file its commented.
