hosts allow/deny not working correctly

[Stephen L Arnold]

When the world was young, "M. Tyson Bigler" <bigler at shellus.com> 
carved some runes like this:  

> I am having difficult getting the hosts allow/deny to work with IP ranges

> doesn't work!! I can't do 111.22.33. either...  I can't even do specific

Does solaris use the same /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny setup as 
linux?  If it's like file/dir permissions, etc, then the samba 
settings will *not* override the underlying system settings.

Just a thought, Steve
