Dear All

I'm new to Linux so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.

I am trying to disable telnet access from certain systems/subnets to a Linux
Server. I understand this can be acheievd by adding entries to the
hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.

I have added

in.telnetd: x.x.x. 

to the allow file (where x.x.x is the subnet that I want to allow telnet
access)

and I have added

in.telnetd: ALL 

to the deny file

So in theory this should allow access to x.x.x subnet and deny everything
else?

Problem is I can still telnet from anywhere

Am I missing something?

Thanks
