| Debian utilizes a basic security feature known as "TCP Wrappers", which

| machine. Would you like to enable TCP wrappers?
|
| [ ] Yes
| [ ] No
|
| Please enter the list of IP addresses that are allowed to talk to this
| machine over the network. Examples:
| ALL (allows access from anywhere)
| 10.20.1.100 (allows access from a machine with the IP address 10.20.1.100)
| 192.168.1. (allows any machine on the Class C network 192.168.1.0)
| 172.16.77.32/28 (allows any machine from the CIDR block 172.16.77.32/28)
|
| If you need to enter more IP's, you can edit the file /etc/hosts.allow after
| installation is complete.
