Hi, I have server: RH6.2/192.168.14.157 and client: RH6.0/192.168.14.154 I setup in the server: /etc/hosts.allow 192.168.14.154 and in /etc/hosts.deny All: All But I cannot do telnet from client (192.168.14.154) to the server. It says "Connection closed by foreign host" Why is that? I just follow the book which describes the TCP_Wrapper as parse the /etc/hosts.allow first. If there is a match then let it in. Otherwise the TCP_Wrapper will check the line in /etc/hosts.deny to make a decision. What did I do wrong? Can some one help me? Thank you!
