If you don't want inetd to start a service, comment them out of inetd.conf.
Also tcp wrappers comes with 2 tools...tcpdchk and tcpdmatch. use them to test and to list your deny/allow policies, respectively, as follows: tcpdmatch <daemon> 127.0.0.1 tcpchk -v hope this helps! robt Jeff Weatherford wrote: > > Ok here is one for you: > > I'm running ftp out of inetd (i know...i will write a script to start it in > the correct place soon) I have re-started inetd when ever i change > anything in hosts allow/deny, etc. > > I have installed ftpd: > localhost:~# dpkg -l ftpd | tail -1 > ii ftpd 0.11-8potato.1 FTP server > > my /etc/hosts.allow: > > sshd: .mydomain.com > pop3d: .mydomain.com > smtp: .mydomain.com > ftpd: .mydomain.com > > my /etc/hosts.deny: > ALL: ALL > > the kicker, is that all my other services are running fine... <grumbles> > > anyone have any ideas? > > -Jeff > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
