I can't even start it up as the previous admin hardened it (but not sure how / where he hardened it) So despite tt I do service iptables start, "service iptables status" still show "Firewall is stopped" Now, can I use /etc/hosts.deny instead ? Do I need to do "pkill -HUP tcpd" or "service xinetd restart" - which of the two commands shd I execute?
