Sorry about the confusion. After looking at what I wrote, I need to correct myself anyway. Twist and spawn are options that you can use in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. The spawn option can run a background process that can be used to log connection attempts. Twist can echo a message back to connecting clients. For example: ALL : 192.168.0. : spawn /bin/echo/ `date` %c %d >> /var/log/connections.log This would cause any connections from the 192.168.0.0/24 network to be logged. in.telnet.d : 192.168.0. : twist /bin/echo "Connection Refused" This would echo a "Connection Refused" message back to users trying to telnet to your machine from the 192.168.0.0/24 network.
