[expert] /etc/hosts.deny ?

[Andreas Müller]

Hallo,

I just have a dialup account and want to prevent all machines from the 
internet to connect to mine. As much as I understand it hosts.deny will do 
this. I have added the following line to /etc/hosts.deny

ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY

This setting worked for me in previous LM releases. Currently I have some 
problems, e.g. leafnode or webmin cannot be connected anymore. Can anyone 
help here PLZ? I want locally all services available but blocked for the 
outside world.

TIA

Andreas
