If we block telnet access in hosts.deny n allow in hosts.allow at the same time . Which will take effect and watz thee result

Consider i first allowed it and then added it in allow file ..

Code:


From "man 5 hosts_access"
ACCESS CONTROL FILES
       The access control software consults two files. The search
       stops at the first match:

       o      Access will be granted when a (daemon,client)  pair
              matches an entry in the /etc/hosts.allow file.

       o      Otherwise,  access  will  be  denied  when  a (dae-
              mon,client)  pair   matches   an   entry   in   the
              /etc/hosts.deny file.

       o      Otherwise, access will be granted.

Cheers,
