hello:
I've installed tcp wrappers on my DU4.0 system.  I followed the
instructions and added this for ftp:
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/etc/tcpd
/usr/sbin/ftpd  
        ftpd
which appears to work just dany (that is all on one line, btw).  but when
I did the same for telnet:
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root   /usr/local/etc/tcpd
/usr/sbin/telnetd       telnetd
I get this:
quip.eecs.umich.edu% telnet josephus.furph.com 
Trying 204.120.113.160...
Connected to josephus.furph.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Usage: telnetd [-debug] [-h] [-D
(options|report|exercise|netdata|ptydata)] [port]
Connection closed by foreign host.
I changed it so the line reads:
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/etc/tcpd 
/usr/sbin/telnetd
but what am I doing wrong?  shouldn't telnet be the same as ftp?  have I
lost my mind?  are the instructions wrong?
thanks
beckers
