TCP Wrappers

I have tcp wrappers installed on 2 machines, an Alphastation 250 and an
XP1000. I get the following message on both.

Warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 0: missing new line or line too long
Warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 0: missing new line or line too long

Both files have only one line.

The host.allow file is as follows:

ALL: XXX.XX.XXX.XXX, XXX.XX.XXX.XXX

which lists the 2 ip addresses that are allowed to telnet in.

The hosts.deny file contains the follwing:

ALL:ALL

Tcp wrappers seems to function correctly except for the error messages.

Could someone please help me with the correct format for these files.

Thanks for you assistance.
