hi ya jon check that your telnet daemon is called /usr/sbin/in.telnetd grep -i telnetd /etc/inetd.conf
remember that hosts.allow is read before hosts.deny so you can use positive or negative logic which ever file you decide to use... /etc/hosts.allow ---------------- # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided by # the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # Version: @(#)/etc/hosts.allow 1.00 05/28/93 # # Author: Fred N. van Kempen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED] # # # end of empty file /etc/hosts.deny --------------- # # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # Version: @(#)/etc/hosts.deny 1.00 05/28/93 # # Author: Fred N. van Kempen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED] # # # deny everybody telnet access except: ( use ip# is even better ) # in.telnetd : ALL EXCEPT mydomain.com # ALL : ALL # # end of file restart inetd....and try it.... if you do not want to muck with these files on all machines... allow/disallow it from the firewall... better still use ssh instead of telnet/ftp/pop3/etc/etc have fun linuxing alvin On Sat, 3 Jun 2000, Jon Hughes wrote: > I am attempting to let machiens from a certain domain > (mydomain.com we'll call it) telnet into my machine. > The IP Address will change each time so I know I can't > do the simple ALL: xx.xxx.xx.x method.
