Hi again: Yes, it is working now. I put two machines in /etc/hosts.allow and "ALL:ALL" line in hosts.deny.
I was doing some reading in different sites to get the right format and found out that there is one more thing. Not too important probably, but that I would like to try. When I make telnet to my linux box I can see the a message saying I am running RH7.2 version of Linux and the kernel information as well. Many sites suggested to remove that message and replace by another one. I have to change two files /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net where the message originates. However, those two files are re-written everytime I boot, so even if I change them, I will still have the same problem next time I start the machine. The way to avoid that was by doing something in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, but that "something" is what I would like to know exactly how to do. The websites I visited were not very clear on that point. Do I have to write the message there? Re-direct the input to /etc/issue using a script? Make a link?
