hello:

I've installed tcp wrappers on my DU4.0 system. I followed the
instructions and added this for ftp:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/tcpd
/usr/sbin/ftpd
        ftpd


which appears to work just dany (that is all on one line, btw). but when
I did the same for telnet:

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/tcpd
/usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd

I get this:

quip.eecs.umich.edu% telnet josephus.furph.com
Trying 204.120.113.160...
Connected to josephus.furph.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Usage: telnetd [-debug] [-h] [-D
(options|report|exercise|netdata|ptydata)] [port]
Connection closed by foreign host.

I changed it so the line reads:

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/tcpd
/usr/sbin/telnetd

but what am I doing wrong? shouldn't telnet be the same as ftp? have I
lost my mind? are the instructions wrong?

thanks
