By default, /etc/hosts.deny contains: # The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its # address. ALL: PARANOID So if (2) has this in /etc/hosts.deny and can't do a reverse lookup of (1)'s address, (1) can't telnet in. Possible solutions are to set up the DNS correctly for (1), or add (1) to (2)'s /etc/hosts file, or (as a last resort) comment out the ALL: PARANOID line on (2) Hope this helps...
