I know this sounds exceptionally stupid, but that is what I have always
been best at :)

Never having experienced this problem before I installed a completely new
2.0.27 (the whole distribution was new, not just the kernel.)

Anyway despite having checked the hosts.allow, the hosts.deny, altering
the inetd.conf files I still can't get access by telnet or ftp even off
localhost. I just can't figure out why I am not getting in there. Can't
get mail in either. 

Previous distributions which I had installed always defaulted to allowing
access openly. I don't think it is tcpd since I tried changing the
inetd.conf to open in.telnetd directly as opposed to via tcpd.

Can anyone put me out of my misery? Thanks.
