hello,
I dont like telnet. But i have a very old mac which i like to use as a
terminal, I cant pursuade it to run macSSH [macssh.com] so i am running
Niftytelnet this necessitates the running of telnetd on another machine.

So, in hosts.deny i put in.telnetd : ALL 
and in hosts.allow i put in.telnetd : 192.168.1.3
[as 1.3 is the mac.]

This made me think about the hosts files and security -usually i just
use ssh and let any host access the system -that box has no nfs exports or
anything.

But i thought it would be more secure to put ALL : ALL in hosts.deny and
then in.sshd : ALL in hosts.allow. This dosnt work[ssh connections are
refused], how do i specify that i want all hosts to be able to connect
to port 22?

thanks

hugh
