[rhn-users] xinetd warning /etc/hosts.allow

[Rick]

Merged MediaI upgraded my server from RH 7.2 to 9.0 back before year end so
that I could continue using Red Hat's up2date service thru April 2004.
However after the upgrade I started seeing messages like below in my
/etc/messages logs. If I delete the last line and the last \, it complains
about line 38. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have googled all over
and have not found anything.

My hosts.allow contains...
exim: LOCAL ALL
imapd: LOCAL ALL
sshd: ALL

ALL: LOCAL \
        63.193.165.24/255.255.255.248 \
        216.228.17.178 \
        216.228.17.179 \
        216.228.17.180 \
        216.228.17.181 \
        209.232.245.18 \
        209.232.245.19 \
