what say list members.

| hi Aditya,
| What I want is that any machine in my office ( say that there are 150
| machines ) should be able to telnet to the server, whatever be their IP
| addresses. are you saying that I will have to add all 150 these IPs ?
| please clarify.
| As of now , any machine with *.*.29.* can telnet to the machine , without
| my having to edit any of the files. However, any other machine (*.*.28.*
| etc. ) is not able to telnet.
| ciao

| ¤      There are certain files in the /etc directory
| ¤
| ¤  host.conf
| ¤  hosts
| ¤  hosts.allow
| ¤  hosts.deny
| ¤  hosts.equiv
| ¤  hosts.lpd

| ¤  The problem could be solved by listing the IP Address in hosts.allow
file

| ¤      This is because telnetd is itself invoked by inetd.
| ¤       If you want to log in as a root by telnetting then you can
| ¤  give the tty
| ¤  number in /etc/securetty but there is a possible security hazard here.

| ¤      Also an entry for remote telnet must be in your /etc/services file.
