Thanks to all of you who responded to my original message below. There were
to many responses to mention, but the consensus was that I had created the
hosts.deny and hosts.allow files using an editor other than vi. In fact I
did use the gui editor that is part of the CDE. Apparently this does not
place an end of line character into the file. This is what gave me
problems.
Thanks again for all of your help. You are invaluable to those of us that
have to muddle our way through Unix and hope it works out.
Thanks Again!

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.
