How to allow all connections

sparkybean · 2008-01-14 22:28:07

I want to open all ports to all ip's on my server. Ive thought about putting All:All into hosts.allow, and none:none into hosts.deny, but that didn't work. A simple fix, i hope . I'm running the server on a trusted LAN behind a router, so i'm not too worried about security.

You understand difference between opened and unblocked?

Opened port means running service on it.
You have to instal daeamon in order to open port. On examle then you install and run pure-ftpd 21 port will be opened.

Thanks for the definition. Guess that means i would like to Unblock all ports then

I think ArchLinux do not block any ports by default.

just leave hosts.allow and hosts.deny empty

Where can I find some additional info on hosts.deny and hosts.allow like syntax on this forum or the arch wiki. Can't seem to find anything.
