Well, I'm totally confused now.  How many hosts.allow files are there?  I
made the changes you suggested in /etc/hosts.allow - it's the only one I

I'm lost here.  I don't know what I'm even looking for.  Can you please
tell me what I'm looking for in tcp-wrappers and inetd?

I understand that if I delete rcpthosts I will have an open relay but at
