I'd firstly like to thank those who offered suggestions. I found
the problem waas caused by two things. Firstly : looking at my logs I
found that it couldn't find /usr/sbin/tcpd , so I re-installed
tcp-wrappers, which fixed that problem no worries. The second one was
more problematic and I've only managed to solve, in a way that I have to
execute a set of commands from the shell each time I boot up linux. It
relates to bringing up the loopback network so I can telnet and ftp in.
	These commands are as follows :

      ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
      route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo

I assumed that my loopback device would already be up and running at
bootup, so I'm hoping someone can tell me how I can set this up, so I
don't have to type these commands each time I boot up linux.

			Any help gratefully accepted,

					Matt.

BTW : for those who asked my /etc/hosts.allow is as follows:
