Operating Systems Solaris Disable telnet for a particular user

This is interesting but this useraccount can come from multiple IPs. Can I user forbiddenuser@ALL instead so as to capture all host IPs?

in.telnetd : forbiddenuser@hostIP

*** I actually tried
in.telnetd : forbiddenuser@myhost but it still accepts telnet sessions with forbiddenuser....

Probably you also need to restart the inetd after the changes?
Before doing that, try
Code:
kill -HUP pid-of-inetd

This should reread the appropriate configuration files.

I tried kill -HUP and also reset the inetd...but doesnt help, I dont think this is the problem though.

I am still able to telnet from my host to server so hosts.deny is not working as expected.

bash-3.1# cat /etc/hosts.deny
in.telnetd : forbiddenuser@myhostname

is tcp_wrapper enable for (telnet) your system?

Code:
$ inetadm -l telnet | grep tcp_wrappers

output says enable or true ?

svcprop: not found
