OK I have made a big f*** up on my cobalt Raq3 using tcp_wrappers - which
looks like it has left everyone denied access via SSH, telnet and ftp.
I was trying to make the server more secure as ive been having failed loggin
attemps for users therefore I added ALL: ALL to hosts.deny and THOUGH i had
added my host correctly to the hosts.allow file - but it looks like I havent
as I am unable to ssh into the server now.
The people who host the server, cobaltrack, say there is nothing they can do
except reload the OS - which is out of the questions as nothing is backup on
the server.
The only access I have to the server now is via the web based interface,
which i hardly ever used. Anyways I was thinking the old way around this
would be to make a PKG file that I could load from the web based interface
which would replace my hosts.allow and hosts.deny with CLEAN copies of them,
only prob is I have no idea how to make a PKG file to do this.
If anyone could guide me in the right steps, some hits on where to look on
the net etc about writing PKG files i would be most greatfull
Thanks
