Hello all,

I just downloaded and set up tcpwrappers 7.6 from sunfreeware. The problem I
am having is that I can ethier deny all access or accept all access and
nothing else. Here is my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files plus checking with
tcpdmatch.

Hosts.allow
in.telnetd: @is-access

Hosts.deny
ALL: ALL

Test of good system:
tcpdmatch in.telnetd jedi.magic.com
client:   hostname jedi.magic.com
client:   address  192.168.62.20
server:   process  in.telnetd
matched:  /etc/hosts.allow line 1
access:   granted

Test of bad system:
/usr/local/bin/tcpdmatch in.telnetd blade.magic.com
client:   hostname blade.magic.com
client:   address  192.168.62.10
server:   process  in.telnetd
matched:  /etc/hosts.deny line 1
access:   denied

All appears to be well from the test, but when I actually try and telnet the
box neither jedi nor blade can connect. If I remove the hosts.deny entry
then all boxes can connect. The messages I am getting in /var/log/syslog
look like this:

Jun 25 16:53:05 zion in.telnetd[2922]: [ID 947420 mail.warning] refused
connect from 0.0.0.0


It seems that the system is not getting the correct ip information from my
systems.

Can anyone please help??

Change the third field of the inetd.conf line back to "tcp6".
