Hi Mohan
You can do the trusted host stuff in Linux easily


If you are using the inetd service of linux there are two files to be used

hosts.allow
host.deny
host.equiv


Off-hand I think they are /etc

Check out the man pages for
hosts_access
hosts_options

Also read  /usr/doc/net-tools/README.hostname

and

$info /usr/doc/bind-4.9.3-BETA26/doc/info/local-hosts-file

Aditya
