hosts.allow is consulted first, so if hosts.deny makes any difference at all, then hosts.allow didn't provide a match. The first match is all that matters. (Overriding depends on reading to the end of all the files and then taking the last match. It doesn't happen here.) > Now rsh, rlogin, etc. > works, but still not remote X windows. > > I have gone through the xauth routine to make sure the .Xauthority > files are the same for the same user on both hosts.
