By the way, I was wondering what command to edit hosts.allow.
For example, I want to put sshd: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : allow in that file.
Again, thanks....
Although your question is not very clear, i conclude that You want to edit hosts.allow and hosts.deny file
You can use any editor like vi, nano etc to edit hosts.allow or hosts.deny file.
root# vi /etc/hosts.allow
..
ALL: 127.0.0.1
#telnet replaced by ssh (2006-05-23 by WimS)
#in.telnetd: 172.31.212.19
vsftpd: 172.31.212.148
sshd: 172.31.212.148
# End of hosts.allow.
All localhost to access all services
vsftpd and sshd from one machine only
Wonder if the contents of the file is not case-sensitive ?
I don't know how sshd is started on your system. Might be that the disabling (as you did) only takes effect at boot and that you still have to stop the ssh daemon manually.
I might have missed it, but which distro are you using?
