Re: potato security ;(
THere is a way to determine for absolute certain whether you are looking
at a host.allow
problem or not. Run telnetd without the TCP wrapper "tcpd". This is what
you said you had in inted.conf:
telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Now take out the tcpd part, and try this:
telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd.telnetd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Now see if you can telnet in. If you still cannot, then you have ruled
out TCP wrapper problems as the cause (which means it's not host.allow
or host.deny). If you can now telnet in, then you know that this is the
problem.
