Re: hosts.allow/hosts.deny

Matthias,

You can use the AS/400 exit point or an initial program that retrieves
the IP address of the Telnet session, and then provide the controls you
want. The system API that does this is QDCDEVD. If you are interested in
a commercial product you can check out our Alliance Telnet Security
product at: http://www.patownsend.com
