I think it was mentioned here on the list a while back something to 
the effect of tcp_wrappers not being as secure as blocking with 
ipchains... is that the general consensus?  I'm using tcp_wrappers to 
block telnet from the outside to my home machine.  I tried setting up 
ipchains to do it with:

/sbin/ipchains -I input 1 -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 
cxxxxx-a.clmba1.mo.home.com 23 -l -j DENY

An incoming telnet session will "hang" with repeated attempts to 
connect.  Also tried REJECT on the ipchains command.  What's more 
desirable?  Is that ipchains command correct?

Thanks
