I would say it could be two things: - Those hosts are having trouble doing a *reverse* DNS lookup. - Those hosts are trying to do a inetd. For the first, go into nslookup, and do something like this. $ nslookup Default Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 > set type=PTR > 17.13.136.44.in-addr.arpa Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 17.13.136.44.in-addr.arpa name = gonzo.vk2xlz.ampr.org 13.136.44.IN-ADDR.ARPA nameserver = gonzo.vk2xlz.ampr.org > exit The IP address I was trying to lookup was 44.136.13.17, notice on how it is reversed in the query? For the second reason, telnet to 127.0.0.1 port 113 and see if you get anything if you type something. - Craig -- // /\ | | | Craig Small VK2XLZ @home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ||==||===|==|=| [44.136.13.17] @play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\ \/ | | | finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP key!
