>Organization:
DSTC pty/ltd
>Environment:
>Description:
we have hosts.allow allowing telnetd, but all:all:deny at end.
without tcpd:all:allow, the telnetd entry is not adequate to
permit inbound telnet.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
it may actually be a documentation bug, relating to how tcpd is or
is not needed in inetd. Sorry for lack of clarity. Is this a parasitic
interaction between the two methods (inetd-integrated, and tcpd as
daemon invoking telnetd) or is this a genuine bug, or is this a
simple mis-configuration?

State-Changed-When: Wed Jul 21 11:07:55 PDT 1999 
State-Changed-Why:  
To quote the inetd manpage: 
"The tcpd daemon is not required, as that functionality is 
builtin." 
If you insist on using tcpd regardless, then it will require its own 
entry in /etc/hosts.allow _and_ it'll want /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow 
if you got it from a port or package. :-)
