Hello all....
I have just signed up for this list today, so I thought I should say
hello and tell you a little about myself.
I have just finnished my Chemistry degree and I am working as a research
assistant at Brock University in St. Catharines. Soon I will be headed
out to Halifax to do some graduate work. (or be a prof's slave how ever
you want to look at it) Anyway, I have just been using linux for the past
year and I feel like I have barely started climbing the learning curve.
I have to admit that I have never taken a single computer course and I
know a minimal amount about how computers REALLY work. I started using
linux because I am too poor to buy software from Bill Gates. It has been
a great learning experience and I have come to really appreciate the open
source concept.
I have to say as a newbie to the linux community it is difficult to find
a mailing list where people actually provide each other with useful
(non-condasending) advice...but everyone seems really helpful here...so
thank you! On other lists I have been hesitant to ask questions for fear
of getting a strip torn out of me for asking too basic a question...not to
mention I don't usually understand what people suggest I do.
****Now for my Query****
I would like to restrict telnet access to my computer to only a few IP
addresses. In order to do this I edited the hosts.deny fill with ALL:ALL,
and the hosts.allow file with the IP adresses which I wanted to allow
access. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. Is there another way
to restrict access? If there is how do I do it?
Thank you for anything you can offer.
P.S. Sorry about the length of my posting.
