Is ther any reason you are using bftp, instead of for example sftp?

Actually there is no specific reasons, it was installed 2 years ago, and now services a whole bunch of users with complex chroot directories structure. Maybe I'll replace bftp with something else anyway. The only strange thing for me that I believed that hosts.deny/allow files are system-wide and I can rely on them, but it's not so.

hosts.allow & hosts.deny is only effective on programs that implement tcp_wrappers. Glenn
