Using Range Character

You may use the range indicator (-) in any of the ﬁelds of the address to

specify which hosts or networks in a group are exempted from the

permission assignment. This makes it more convenient to allow or deny

a service for a subnet within the network you specify. The following

sample entry, for example, denies hosts in subnets 3 through 5 of

network 10 access to Telnet. Note that the wildcard character * at the

end of the address lets you avoid specifying the individual hosts within

the subnet.

telnetd deny 10.3-5.*
