I have spent allot of time with /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf &
httpd.conf(many hours).
The results I'm getting are not what I'm looking for!
I can restrict users based on subnet but not at the ip level no matter what
$%&* I do!!!!
My assumption is that, the above mentioned files will not restrict users
from telnet access.
Surely there has to be a better way?
Right now I am surfing
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO .
Setting up a firewall sounds so intimidating! This whole HOWTO web page is
just greek to me.
I didn't find an example of my situation there. I don't have man pages for
ipfwadm or ipchains(not sure why).
Also, If the firewall service is considered a "generic service", then how do
you envoke it? Configure it?
Meanwhile my web server is available to our whole company, not just the
intended 10 users.(stress)

You'll actually want to investigate the configuration files in
/etc/httpd/conf. Apache isn't run through inetd and isn't controlled by
TCP Wrappers.
http://www.apache.org should have definitive information on how to
configure those files to limit server access to the 10 users.
