Change this line to:
ALL: LOCAL host.whereyour.son.wanttotelnetfrom
If there are several computers from which your son wants to login you can
also allow domain e.g.: 123.234.345. will allow all computers whose IP nr
begins 123.234.345.xxx to connect or also you can use hostnames e.g.:
.school.ofyour.son and then, if you have more questions look at the
hosts.allow man page or ask again
good luck
