>       We are pioneering the use of open source software in
>       configuring a print server at Mutoh America.  The server
>       will be printed to from Windows and Macintosh clients.
>       The print server runs runs Red Hat Linux 7.1 with the
>       2.4.2-2 kernel.  Samba and Netatalk will provide access
>       to the postscript printers.  Telnet and ftp will be used
>       for administrative tasks, because there will be no keyboard
>       nor monitor on the box.  The Red Hat installation will be
>       trimmed as much as possible.

>               Telnet, ftp and smbclient invoked from a client
>               ( trying to access the shares of the sever )
>               all refuse the connection.  If any of the above
>               are invoked from the server itself ( to itself ),
>               the connection is made.  /etc/hosts.allow is empty
>               ( as is /etc/hosts.deny ).  The entry "portmap:
>               ALL" was used in /etc/hosts.allow and did not work.
