Hi,
I have the following in my /etc/hosts.allow (on a FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE
system) ...

        # Tout de voute.net passe ...
        ALL : 192.168.0. : allow

A friend comes along, plugs his (Windows 2000-equipped) laptop into my
LAN, and uses the IP 192.168.0.5. He opens putty, selects 'lievre', and
'ssh', and clicks on 'open'.

The result is 'connection refused'.

I know it's not putty, as I use it regularly (I am writing this article in
a putty session). Can anyone suggest where it might be going wrong ?

Thanks.
