Did you really mean 192.168.0.0/18 and not 192.168.0.0/16? The first would only deny 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.63.255, if I'm not mistaken, and not "everything from 192.168."

Hi Folks,
Can you use CIDR addressing in /etc/hosts.deny? This is SuSE 8 by the way.
I've got a statement in hosts.deny which reads:
ALL: 192.168.0.0/18
to reject everything from 192.168. (actual IP's are different) but an IP address in that range was allowed to connect to my SMTP server. Shouldn't tcpwrappers have blocked it?
