Look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Read the documentation (man pages, /usr/doc, everything) very thoroughly, because there are serious security risks involved with mistakes made at configuring FTP and telnet. BTW, proftpd and ssl telnet are the best way to go with those if you must run them, IMHO. Any input (or corrections) from others on this list would be welcome.
