This looks correct.

OK, but I should be able to test it from the login session that I have
running on ftb2.  I will feel better about "things" when I can test
the remote ADDE server access from ftb2 to ftb2.  After that, I will
be out of your hair :-)

I took the liberty of checking your TCP wrapper mods to /etc/inetd:

mcserv          stream  tcp     nowait  mcadde  /usr/sbin/in.tcpd       
/home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh       mcservsh -H /home/mcidas
mccompress      stream  tcp     nowait  mcadde  /usr/sbin/in.tcpd       
/home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh       mcservsh -H /home/mcidas

I believe that these should read:

mcserv          stream  tcp     nowait  mcadde  /usr/sbin/in.tcpd       
/home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh       -H /home/mcidas
mccompress      stream  tcp     nowait  mcadde  /usr/sbin/in.tcpd       
/home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh       -H /home/mcidas

The stuff passed to /home/mcidas/bin/mcservsh should be '-H /home/mcidas'
not 'mcservsh -H /home/mcidas'

The other thing that you will need to attend to is the mcservsh entry
in /etc/hosts.allow.  Allowing everyone mandates an entry that looks like:

mcservsh:       ALL

Of course, you can limit it to any set of IP addresses that you choose.
