please note about which hosts(4F) file I was talking;

    of course, "abc!@#."  is my clear password,U know,
    
     'I telnet with "abc!@#." ' means that "abc!@#" is my clear password,
    And I copy the encrypted password of hyde of /etc/passwd to /etc/host as
    well.
    
    "hyde:08Y9i.MEmx7yc:501:502::/home/hyde:/bin/bash " is in /etc/passwd
    while /etc/hosts contains 
    "127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.localdomain
     172.18.86.40            mailpage
     hyde:::08Y9i.MEmx7yc             "
    
    
      That's really true.
      Tell me why.

I was never ever talking about "/etc/hosts" and also the man page
of HylaFAX's hosts(4F) file says: "...file etc/hosts in the HylaFAX
spooling area...." The full name of this file is (depends on your
installation) "/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts" or something like that.

In other words: you edited the wrong file.
