Okay, this means that you can connect to the swat port/daemon from
the loopback address and the 19.168.0.* IP range.

You can add permissions like so:

in.telnetd:	192.168.1.240/255.255.255.240

which allows telnet from the addresses in the range 192.168.1.(240-255)

Of you can do specific addresses:

in.telnetd:	10.6.78.40

Or combinations of lots of other things... type 'man hosts.allow' to 
get a better tutorial.
