[cobalt-users] hosts.deny

[Jonathan Nichols <jnichols@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys-
	If I have hosts.deny set up like this:

bash# cat /etc/hosts.deny
#
# hosts.deny    This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#               *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#               by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
ALL:           ALL
bash#

FTP kind of quits working..

Here's hosts.allow:

bash# cat /etc/hosts.allow
#
# hosts.allow   This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#               allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#               by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
# Allow www access
http:           ALL
#
# Allow ftp access
ftp:            ALL
ftp-data:       ALL
#
# Allow localhost
ALL:		127.0.0.1


http works, and ftp just gives this error message:
Connected to raq1.mydomain.com.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

If I add ALL:ALL to hosts.deny, but leave hosts.allow the way it is, 
WWW works, but here's what I get when I try FTP:(IP censored)

Feb 14 19:17:08 localhost in.proftpd[5305]: refused connect from 
***.***.***.***

What I cannot figure out is that this exact same configuration (even 
copied over the hosts.deny/hosts.allow)from 3 other linux boxes 
running Caldera eDesktop 2.4 works just fine!

Is this something particular to the Cobalt RaQs? This unit is a RaQ3i.

thanks :)
