Hello
I found the cure for the no-boot problem thanks to Stan Brown - fdisk
completely messed up the disk geometry.

Anyway it all booted fine but I just noticed something odd.

tcp_wrappers package added OK, copied tcpd to /usr/libexec, edited
/etc/hosts.deny and allow, changed entries in inetd.conf - hup'd inetd 
(even tried a reboot) and although inetd/tcpd logs connects it does
not pay any attention to the deny/allow files.

Could someone else check this please. I am trying 2.2-961014-SNAP and its 
packages off the src.doc.ic.ac.uk mirror.

I ran tcpdchk and tcpdmatch - just won't pay any attention to the deny/allow
files. I'll get the src and rebuild tcpd but this is kind of weird.

Neil
