I am using a linux box as my router/server/bottle washer...

Unfortunately, occassionaly I have to access it from the INSIDE of my
home LAN (physical security good) using Windows. I cannot get ssh to
work happily on windows, so this leave me with telnet. I would greatly
prefer not to have the WAN side of the box open to telnet (phyical
security NONE).

Can I limit telent to only listen on eth1 and ignore eth0? I asume this
is an iptables issue, but my skills there are still pretty poor.

TIA
