For /etc/hosts.allow the proper syntax is
in.telnetd: ALL
Check /etc/inetd.conf to be sure that the line referring to
in.telnetd is not commented out. If it is you'll want to uncomment
it and send a `kill -HUP <pid of inetd>' to restart inetd and make it
reread /etc/inetd.conf-*+, where you substitute inetd's pid into the
command. However, this defeats the security you are trying to
achieve by using ssh. ssh is a different protocol that achieves some
of the same functionality of telnet. It also listens on a different
port. Why don't you just install a ssh client on your pals windoze
box? For instance ssh windows client ( you can find it on one of our
servers http://slug.ceca.utc.edu ).

So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with telnetd and
hosts.allow?
I've got
in.telnetd: ALL: allow
set, but still no luck.
By the way, in.telnetd does not seem to be actually running, but
inetd is.
I think the latter calls up the former when needed, so I don't
believe
this is the problem.
