Dear All,

I want to allow telnet in my server from local LAN from only one IP
address, to fulfill the requirement what should I do from the following

[1] add an entry in /etc/host.allow like following

telnetd : xx.xx.xx.xx

or

[2] add an entry in /etc/host.deny like following

telnet : ALL except xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


[3] or simply create a iptables rule to allow telnet from desired IP


what is the best option to go through ???

Well, you could do both. Allow/deny and iptables. That way, if you
have to fiddle with one, the other is still there.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
