go to /etc/inetd.conf
Comment out lines for
#echo stream tcp nowait root internal
#echo dgram udp wait root internal
save it.
then:
"killall -HUP inetd"
then edit hosts.deny and add the line:
7:ALL
(port 7 is the echo port - ALL means noone is allowed to use it through
tcpwrappers)...
Alternately, hosts.deny can just say ALL:ALL
then hosts.allow can be <port>:<machine> that are allowed to be used/use...
