I presume that this "0.0.0.0" is you blanking out your real IP for
newsgroup use?  IF not, try one of the "private IPs" like
umm.. 10.0.0.1

Ahem.  Look very closely.  Ask yourself.. "Who am I denying?"
Then check your hosts.allow.  

Then re-read man hosts_access...

	The politeness level on this group is kinda scary. People ask
nicely, people politely answer and they are thanked. 

	There is communication, comunity and - sheesh, people actually
being civilised. Is this a *real* newsgroup??

	I am sure it turns out that Linux is just such an advanced system,
it never makes people grumpy. Unlike ...
	:-)

create-as-you-go future"

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:
ALL: LOCAL

Isn't this the way we all *want* to communicate? I know I do :-)

It sure helps ;-)

However the Linux community, is to me, the *really* special thing about
Linux.

GNU Linux should work with 8MB of RAM.  With X Windows your should have
at least 16 MB.
