restarting hosts?

Hi, I changed my /etc/hosts.deny to ALL:ALL but how can I restart it? Or is that all I do?

From the comments of the /etc/hosts.deny file :

Quote:

# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

So just restarting inetd will take the change in account :

Code:

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
