Dear Folks,
        the key was to run tcpdchk and see what it complained about. It
choked on the fact that the address of the host I am trying to block
didn't resolve. I added it to /etc/hosts, and updated the /etc/hosts.deny
file to read:
ALL: 206.126.46.115, openwifi.turtle.com

Now telnet through tcpd works, but the host I want to block is still
allowed to telnet in. where am I blundering? julius
