    Whats wrong with this?

    (dek@hontas):~ > cat /etc/hosts.deny

    # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
    # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
    # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

    # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
    # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular
    # you should know that NFS uses portmap!

    #daemon : hosts : boobytrap
