Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet 2. Just before the closing curly brace, add the line: 3. only_from = 192.168.0.{98,99} 4. Run: service xinetd reload 5. Telnet to the system from a computer with one of those IP addrs 6. Note that you cannot telnet in. 7. Replace the line with a non-factorized address such as: only_from = 192.168.0.99 8. Note that you can now telnet in from that computer. Actual Results: Connection refused Expected Results: Connection allowed Additional info:
It's fixed in the current devel version of xinetd. Waiting for a real release to upgrade, though... (xinetd-2.3.6rc6)
2.3.7-1 has been built.
