UnixWare also refuses connect when it can't RARP the address. Basically: o getpeername o gethostbyaddr (fails) o close I guess technically you could state "refuse the connection" means a non-acceptance. If so, then telnetd would be refusing to maintain the conection perpetrated by inetd rather than actually rejecting it. I believe, however, that the CMC networking stuff for the 3b2 doesn't have inetd, unless they made a newer version since the last time I saw the 3b2 code. I guess it's possible, though. I'm pretty sure that with the 3b2 being a dead machine and all that this is the case.
