/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

When you change FTP settings then you need to refresh FTP services.

Code:
svcadm restart ftp
