I think you need to have commas (,) seperating the ip's if you want them =
on the same line.=20
You also might want to check your usage for the service names... instead =
of using telnet or ftp , you'd probably want to use in.telnetd or =
in.ftpd on most linux distro's but that might not always be the case. =
I'd check your /etc/inetd.conf for the actual name (this obviously does =
not apply to ALL).

Subject: Hosts.allow and Hosts.deny
Alright maybe I am a little slow but I thought I had this under =
control at one point, now it all seems to be different. I have my =
firewall working, but I have been having problems with FTP, telnet, =
swat, etc working for the internal network. I have been working with the =
firewall thinking it was there. I just ran a test that makes everything =
I thought was either wrong or incorrect. Here it goes:
My hosts.deny file has the following line:
ALL: ALL
My hosts.allow has the following lines:
ALL: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.
swat: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.
I can not get any of the services to work on the internal network. FTP =
and telnet will not work to the Linux box, nor will swat. I have tried =
the following lines as well and they did not work either:
ftp: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.
telnet: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.
What am I missing?
Thank you,
David
