I have a vps system running bind9 that I can telnet to port 53

three). See:<br>

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused<br>

/etc/hosts.deny has some entries, but none for the host that
can't connect and all the entries are for sshd anyway.<br>
<br>
Is there something else that needs to be configured? Selinux
doesn't seem to be installed on this Centos 5.8 system. No
sestatus command, no /etc/selinux/config file, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
