(must have the last . ) as it treats the lack of the last number as a wild card. Access is mainly controlled by the hosts.allow file in /etc, and you can add this ip to allow all the adresses for all xinetd services, postfix etc. and you can specify ip's to allow for specific services, i foget the ssyntax but i imagine a man hosts.allow will tell you exactly what you need to know.
