Do you mean I should add the hosts who want to visit me
to /etc/hosts, so telnetd will lookup /etc/hosts and won't
lookup the dns server?

For example, i am 192.168.0.7, and 192.168.0.1 -- 192.168.0.6
will visit me, so /etc/hosts should like
127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.7	tao
192.168.0.1	zhao
192.168.0.2	xinhua
192.168.0.3	chen
... ?

And, can I force telnetd dont do ip->hostname lookup at all?

Thanks again
