This is something I didn't know, thanks. ssh is now working it just 
took a simple line in hosts.allow

Thanks for this it was invaluable in helping me.

SSH is now working and working well but Telnet is still being funny, 
now it will successfully connect (/var/log/daemon.log reports an 
authorised connection) I get the issue statement (Debian 
testing/unstable mornmist) and then nothing happens it just sits 
there. If I try logging in as root I get connection closed by foreign 
host (though I assume that's telnet saying I can't login as root).
Currently my hosts.deny has one line saying "ALL: ALL" and my 
hosts.allow says (among other things) in.telnetd: local 192.168.0. 
mornmist.2y.net

Anyone got any ideas?
