/etc/hosts.allow on Solaris 10
I added some entries in the /etc/hosts.allow on a Solaris 10 system.
Do I need to bounce inetd?
I have read some accounts where any changes made to the /etc/hosts.allow will be taken in automatically.
And other accounts where you need to run:
svcadm refresh inetd
My /etc/hosts.allow file was already in place; I am not creating it for the first time. I am just adding in some additional .ftpd entries.
Thanks
David
