I believe that the hosts.deny file is deprecated, and that rtules should now be
specified in /etc/hosts.allow.  This is a 3.3-RELEASE box we're talking about,
which I'm not too sure of, but you can specify IP addresses which can access
telnet on your host by specifying rules in your /etc/hosts.allow file such as:

	ALL : 127.0.0.1 : allow
	telnetd : 202.169.35.125 : allow
	ALL : ALL : deny

What this effectively does is allow all connections from localhost to localhost
for any service, and deny everything for every host except for 202.159.35.125
accessing telnetd.
