Whats in /etc/hosts.allow ? Suggest posting both files, and naming the service you are testing on.

It never does anything. Programs which are compiled with libwrappers read first hosts.allow and then hosts.deny. The first match is the operative one. Thus if the program does not use libwrapper, theose files are irrelevant. If the computer is listed in hosts.allow, the deny file is irrelevant.

Thanks the for the replys. I was trying to adblock sites with entries like this..... ALL : ALL ALL: .ad.doubleclick. ALL: .red.as-us.falkag. ALL: .m.2mdn. ALL: .m2.2mdn. ALL: .doubleclick. ALL: .amch.questionmarket. ALL: .creatives.doubleclick. ALL: .a.as-us.falkag. ALL: .slashdot. But I think I misunderstood what hosts.deny does. Do I need to be running a proxy server use hosts.deny to do blocking ads? The ALL : ALL does successfully stop ssh and ftp etc.
