OK, but I should be able to test it from the login session that I have running on ftb2. I will feel better about "things" when I can test the remote ADDE server access from ftb2 to ftb2. After that, I will be out of your hair :-) I took the liberty of checking your TCP wrapper mods to /etc/inetd: mcserv stream tcp nowait mcadde /usr/sbin/in.tcpd /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh mcservsh -H /home/mcidas mccompress stream tcp nowait mcadde /usr/sbin/in.tcpd /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh mcservsh -H /home/mcidas I believe that these should read: mcserv stream tcp nowait mcadde /usr/sbin/in.tcpd /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh -H /home/mcidas mccompress stream tcp nowait mcadde /usr/sbin/in.tcpd /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh -H /home/mcidas The stuff passed to /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh should be '-H /home/mcidas' not 'mcservsh -H /home/mcidas' The other thing that you will need to attend to is the mcservsh entry in /etc/hosts.allow. Allowing everyone mandates an entry that looks like: mcservsh: ALL Of course, you can limit it to any set of IP addresses that you choose. Tom
