inetd.sec file not blocking 'unauthorized users' from accessing the system.

We're not sure when it happened, but all of a sudden the inetd.sec on our 11.0 system is not restricting ip's/networks from our system.

This used to work. we've checked the format of the inetd.sec file, we've verified the inetd.conf file

any ideas?

Shalom,

You need to check the ip address the login came from against the configuration of inetd.sec

inetd -l

Increases logging.

You may find the login comes from an ip address or hostname not covered by your inetd.sec file or via a protocol you have not covered.
